Remote code execution via service use-after-free
Published Jul 8, 2025 · Updated Feb 13, 2026
Use-after-free in Microsoft Windows Connected Devices Platform Service allows remote attackers to execute code after user interaction. Microsoft has not disclosed the specific object, function, or lifetime error that causes the service to reuse freed memory. Exploitation arrives over a network but requires a user action; successful exploitation runs attacker-controlled code on the affected Windows host.
