Privilege escalation through undisclosed access-control flaw
Published Jun 11, 2024 · Updated Aug 10, 2026
Improper access control in Microsoft Visual Studio 2017, 2019, and 2022 allows remote authenticated users to elevate privileges. Microsoft has not disclosed the affected component or the incorrect access-control operation that processes attacker-controlled input. Exploitation requires low privileges, user interaction, and high-complexity conditions; successful attacks expose or alter data and interrupt service.
