CVE-2026-23667

Local privilege escalation via use-after-free

Published Mar 10, 2026 · Updated Mar 10, 2026

Use-after-free in Microsoft Broadcast DVR on affected Windows 10 and 11 releases allows local users to elevate privileges. Broadcast DVR accesses an object after its lifetime has ended, but Microsoft has not disclosed the affected code path or object. Exploitation requires existing low-privilege local access and a high-complexity trigger; success grants elevated control over the affected system.
