CVE-2026-96934Network attack vector

Unauthenticated code execution via use-after-free

Published Oct 13, 2026 · Updated Oct 13, 2026

Use-after-free in Microsoft Windows DHCP Server allows remote attackers to execute code through network traffic without authentication. The supplied source identifies DHCP Server but does not disclose the affected function, freed object, or triggering request; authoritative CVE details could not be retrieved. Exposure requires a deployed, reachable DHCP Server role, and the supplied record does not establish the execution privilege or client-edition applicability.
