Remote code execution via GDI+ integer overflow
Published Aug 11, 2026 · Updated Aug 25, 2026
Integer overflow in Windows GDI+ on supported Microsoft Windows releases allows remote attackers to execute code via crafted content. Microsoft has disclosed only that GDI+ mishandles arithmetic on untrusted input; public sources do not name the parsing routine, image format, or exact code path behind the wraparound. Although scored as network-reachable, exploitation requires user interaction such as opening or previewing attacker-supplied content, and code runs in the context of the process that renders it.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
