Local information disclosure via NTFS out-of-bounds read
Published Mar 11, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2026
An out-of-bounds read in Windows NTFS allows local users to disclose information through an interaction-dependent local attack. Microsoft identifies NTFS as the affected component but has not published the specific parser, structure, or unchecked operation responsible for the read. Exploitation requires user interaction; the reported consequence is information disclosure, not data modification or service interruption.
