CVE-2024-26220

Local information disclosure via uninitialized resource use

Published Apr 9, 2024 · Updated May 3, 2025

Information disclosure in Windows Mobile Hotspot allows local users to read sensitive data after required user interaction. Microsoft identifies use of an uninitialized resource but has not published the affected code locus, the resource, or the data exposed. Exploitation requires low-privilege local access and user interaction; integrity and service availability are unaffected.
