Local privilege escalation via Storport.sys buffer over-read
Published Oct 14, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2026
Buffer over-read in the Storport.sys driver in Microsoft Windows allows local users with low privileges to elevate privileges. Microsoft identifies an out-of-bounds read in Storport.sys but has not disclosed the affected routine, input path, or how the read enables elevation. A local low-privileged account is required; successful exploitation grants elevated control, while remote and unauthenticated access are outside the reported attack path.
