CVE-2026-83925
MediumCVSS 4.7Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk30th percentile - higher than 30% of all known CVEs
Summary
Use of an uninitialized resource in the Windows Kernel allows an authorized attacker to disclose information locally.
Risk Assessment
A locally authenticated attacker could read data from uninitialized kernel memory, potentially leaking sensitive system information.
Recommendation
Promptly apply patches for the Windows Kernel and monitor for unusual behavior of processes with elevated privileges.
Other vulnerabilities in Windows Kernel
See all- CVE-2026-35420High
Heap-based buffer overflow in Windows Kernel allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.
- CVE-2017-11847High
The Windows kernel vulnerability allows an attacker to run arbitrary code in kernel mode, which can lead to installing programs, changing or deleting data, and creating new accounts with full user rights.
- CVE-2017-8561High
