Local privilege escalation
Published Jun 15, 2022 · Updated Jan 2, 2025
Elevation of privilege in Windows Media Center on affected Microsoft Windows releases allows local users to gain elevated privileges. Microsoft's public advisory identifies the component and impact but does not disclose the faulty function, input path, or operation on untrusted data. Exploitation requires local low-privileged access; success crosses the local security boundary and can compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
