Local information disclosure via sensitive kernel logging
Published Apr 14, 2026 · Updated Apr 14, 2026
Sensitive-data logging in the Windows Kernel allows local users with low privileges to disclose information on affected Windows systems. Microsoft has not disclosed which kernel logging path records the sensitive data, what input triggers the entry, or which data becomes readable. Exploitation requires local low-privilege access and exposes confidentiality without reported integrity or availability impact.
