Local privilege escalation via unchecked physical addresses
Published Sep 4, 2026 · Updated Sep 10, 2026
Privilege escalation in affected PassMark desktop products allows local users to compromise a Windows system through DirectIo64.sys. IOCTL 0x8011E0A0 passes an unchecked 64-bit physical address to MmMapIoSpace and clears a caller-selected bit in kernel code or page tables. Exploitation requires a device handle and affects PerformanceTest before 11.1 build 1012, BurnInTest before 11.1 build 1000, and OSForensics before 11.1 build 1016; a successful bit clear enables local privilege escalation or a system crash.

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.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
