Code execution via USB driver use-after-free
Published Feb 13, 2024 · Updated Aug 10, 2026
Use-after-free in Microsoft Windows USB Generic Parent Driver allows physically proximate attackers to execute code using a crafted USB device. Microsoft identifies the defect in Usbccgp.sys but has not disclosed the object or lifetime operation that causes the stale access. Exploitation requires physical access and composite-device processing; successful execution occurs in a kernel-mode driver.
