CVE-2026-50299

Physical code execution via integer overflow

Published Jul 14, 2026 · Updated Jul 14, 2026

Integer overflow in Microsoft Windows Storage Spaces Direct allows physically proximate attackers to execute arbitrary code. Microsoft has not disclosed the affected function or how physical input triggers the integer wraparound and resulting heap overflow. Physical access is required; successful exploitation compromises the system, while network-only exposure is insufficient.
