Security-feature bypass via crafted file
Published Sep 10, 2024 · Updated Aug 10, 2026
Security feature bypass in Microsoft Windows allows remote attackers to evade Mark of the Web protections by sending a crafted file. Microsoft has not published the affected component, file format, or incorrect operation that causes the crafted file to evade those protections. Exploitation requires a user to open the file; the file can then bypass trust-based integrity controls, with no reported confidentiality or availability impact.
