Local privilege escalation via undisclosed mechanism
Published Jun 13, 2023 · Updated Jan 1, 2025
Elevation of privilege in Microsoft .NET and Visual Studio 2022 allows local users to execute code with elevated privileges. Microsoft has not published the affected component or the operation that mishandles attacker-controlled input. Exploitation requires local low-privilege access and user interaction; successful exploitation compromises confidentiality, integrity, and availability in the current security context.
