- CVE-2021-41357HighActively exploited
Win32k Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability. Technical details are not provided in the description, but it is a vulnerability allowing privilege escalation.
- CVE-2021-40450HighActively exploited
Win32k Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability. Technical details are not provided in the description, but it is a vulnerability allowing privilege escalation.
- CVE-2021-40449HighActively exploited
Win32k Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability. Technical details are not provided in the description, but it is a vulnerability allowing privilege escalation.
- CVE-2020-1472MediumActively exploited
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when an attacker establishes a vulnerable Netlogon secure channel connection to a domain controller, using the Netlogon Remote Protocol (MS-NRPC). An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could run a specially crafted application on a device on the network. To exploit the vulnerability, an unauthenticated attacker would be required to use MS-NRPC to connect to a domain controller to obtain domain administrator access.
- CVE-2020-1054HighActively exploited
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Windows when the Windows kernel-mode driver fails to properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in kernel mode, install programs, view/change/delete data, or create new accounts with full user rights.
- CVE-2019-1322HighActively exploited
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Windows improperly handles authentication requests, aka 'Microsoft Windows Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability'. It could allow an attacker to gain higher privileges.
- CVE-2019-0543HighActively exploited
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Windows improperly handles authentication requests. This affects multiple versions of Windows, including Windows 7, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows RT 8.1, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2012, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 10, and Windows 10 Servers.
- CVE-2015-2423Medium
Microsoft Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2, Windows RT Gold and 8.1, Windows 10, Excel 2007 SP3, PowerPoint 2007 SP3, Visio 2007 SP3, Word 2007 SP3, Office 2010 SP2, Excel 2010 SP2, PowerPoint 2010 SP2, Visio 2010 SP2, Word 2010 SP2, Excel 2013 SP1, PowerPoint 2013 SP1, Visio 2013 SP1, Word 2013 SP1, Excel 2013 RT SP1, PowerPoint 2013 RT SP1, Visio 2013 RT SP1, Word 2013 RT SP1, and Internet Explorer 7 through 11 allow remote attackers to gain privileges and obtain sensitive information via a crafted command-line parameter to an Office application or Notepad, as demonstrated by a transition from Low Integrity to Medium Integrity, aka "Unsafe Command Line Parameter Passing Vulnerability."
- CVE-2015-1769MediumActively exploited
A vulnerability in Mount Manager in multiple versions of Microsoft Windows mishandles symlinks, allowing physically proximate attackers to execute arbitrary code by connecting a crafted USB device, known as "Mount Manager Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability".
- CVE-2013-7331MediumActively exploited
The Microsoft.XMLDOM ActiveX control in Microsoft Windows 8.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to determine the existence of local pathnames, UNC share pathnames, intranet hostnames, and intranet IP addresses by examining error codes, as demonstrated by a res:// URL, and exploited in the wild in February 2014.
- CVE-2013-3900MediumActively exploited
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way the WinVerifyTrust function handles Windows Authenticode signature verification for portable executable (PE) files. An attacker could modify an existing signed executable to add malicious code without invalidating the signature. Microsoft does not plan to enforce stricter verification by default — it requires manually setting the EnableCertPaddingCheck registry key.
- CVE-2000-0168Medium
Microsoft Windows 9x operating systems allow an attacker to cause a denial of service via a pathname that includes file device names, aka the 'DOS Device in Path Name' vulnerability.
- CVE-2026-50476High
Use-After-Free vulnerability in Microsoft Windows allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.
- CVE-2026-32181Medium
Improper privilege management in Microsoft Windows allows an authorized attacker to deny service locally. The vulnerability relates to incorrect assignment or enforcement of privileges within the operating system.
- CVE-2024-30072High
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft Event Trace Log file parsing. An attacker can exploit a specially crafted ETW file to take control of the affected system.
- CVE-2021-26901High
Windows Event Tracing Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
- CVE-2021-26887High
Elevation of privilege vulnerability in Microsoft Windows when Folder redirection is enabled via Group Policy. An attacker could redirect another user's personal data to a created folder.
