Remote code execution via heap buffer overflow
Published Jul 9, 2024 · Updated Feb 10, 2026
A heap-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Xbox Crypto Graphic Services allows remote attackers to execute code after user interaction. Microsoft identifies the component and weakness but has not published the malformed input, affected function, or out-of-bounds operation. The attack requires access from an adjacent network and user interaction; successful exploitation executes attacker-controlled code on the affected Windows system.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
