CVE-2024-30065

System crash via improper link resolution

Published Jun 11, 2024 · Updated Aug 10, 2026

Improper link resolution in Windows Themes allows local users to crash affected Windows systems through a crafted link. Microsoft identifies link following before file access but has not disclosed the specific function, file format, or incorrect resolution sequence. Low-privilege local access is required, and the documented consequence is an availability-only system crash.
