Local WLDP security feature bypass
Published Jul 9, 2024 · Updated Feb 10, 2026
A security feature bypass in Windows LockDown Policy allows local users with low privileges to compromise protected system resources. Microsoft has not disclosed the affected WLDP code locus or the incorrect operation that permits the protection failure. Exploitation requires local low-privileged access and no user interaction, and the published assessment bounds the consequence to confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise.
