Published Feb 11, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Information disclosure in Microsoft Windows CNG Key Isolation service allows local users to read sensitive memory through a crafted application. The service mishandles in-memory objects, but Microsoft has not published the affected object type or erroneous operation. Exploitation requires logging on and running a specially crafted application; the reported consequence is local disclosure without integrity or availability impact.
