Authenticated remote code execution
Published Jun 15, 2022 · Updated Jan 2, 2025
Remote code execution in Microsoft Windows Encrypting File System allows remote authenticated users to execute code over a network. Microsoft has not published the affected EFS code locus or the operation it performs incorrectly on attacker-controlled input. Exploitation requires low-privileged credentials, no user interaction, high attack complexity, and preparation of the target environment; successful attacks compromise the EFS service context.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=10.0.17763.0 <10.0.17763.3046
