CVE-2026-44814

Local memory disclosure via out-of-bounds read

Published Jun 9, 2026 · Updated Jun 9, 2026

Out-of-bounds read in Windows DWM Core Library in Windows 11 version 26H1 allows local users to disclose information from memory. Microsoft identifies the DWM Core Library as the locus but has not disclosed the affected routine, input path, or exact bounds-checking failure. Low-privileged local access is required; exploitation needs no user interaction and exposes memory without reported modification or service interruption.
