CVE-2026-58608
HighCVSS 8.8Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk35th percentile - higher than 35% of all known CVEs
Summary
A race condition in Windows Print Spooler Components due to improper synchronization of shared resources allows an authorized attacker to execute code remotely over a network.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can remotely execute arbitrary code in the context of the print service, potentially leading to system compromise and privilege escalation.
Recommendation
Install the latest security updates from Microsoft for Windows Print Spooler. Restrict access to the print service to trusted users only.
