⚡ [BREAKING NEWS] CVE-2024-26229: Windows Elevation of Privilege Flaw Weaponized, PoC Exploit on GitHub
---------
Security researchers are raising the alarm as proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit code targeting a recently patched high-severity vulnerability (CVE-2024-26229) in Microsoft Windows has surfaced on GitHub. The vulnerability could allow attackers to gain SYSTEM privileges, the highest level of access on a Windows system.
This kind of heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability can corrupt memory and potentially enable an attacker to execute arbitrary code or gain unauthorized access to a system. Essentially, attackers can craft malicious code or inputs that trigger the overflow, allowing them to gain control over the affected system, execute arbitrary commands, install malware, or access sensitive data.
Security experts warn that without timely defense and prevention strategies, it can lead to serious security breaches.
