01

What, why and how

Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in Host Process for Windows Tasks allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

What

Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in Host Process for Windows Tasks allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

Why

The product attempts to access a file based on the filename, but it does not properly prevent that filename from identifying a link or shortcut that resolves to an unintended resource.

How

An attacker operating through local access may attempt exploitation with low privileges. If successful, the issue may gain additional privileges.

How

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path
local access → Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following') → gain additional privileges
Attack surface
Local
Privileges required
Low: a basic authenticated account is required
User interaction
None
Attack complexity
Low: no specialised conditions are recorded
Security boundary
Unchanged: impact remains within the vulnerable component's security authority
Weakness
?CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness.
CWE-59 ↗

CWE-59: Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following'). The product attempts to access a file based on the filename, but it does not properly prevent that filename from identifying a link or shortcut that resolves to an unintended resource.

CVSS vector
?CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity.
CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C

Common Vulnerability Scoring System 3.1: the compact vector below is decoded into plain language.

AVLocalAttack vector: The attacker needs local access to the vulnerable system.ACLowAttack complexity: No specialised conditions are required beyond attacker-controlled input.PRLowPrivileges required: The attacker needs basic user-level privileges.UINoneUser interaction: No action by another user is required.SUnchangedScope: The security impact remains within the vulnerable component's authority.CHighConfidentiality impact: A successful attack can cause a major loss.IHighIntegrity impact: A successful attack can cause a major loss.AHighAvailability impact: A successful attack can cause a major loss.
Post-exploitation / living off the land
The issue can support a local privilege or sandbox boundary transition; normal system utilities may then be available in the gained context.

NCSC-NL · Dutch · NCSC-2026-0007Kwetsbaarheden verholpen in Microsoft Windows

Een kwaadwillende kan de kwetsbaarheden misbruiken om aanvallen uit te voeren die kunnen leiden tot de volgende categoriën schade: - Denial-of-Service (DoS) - Manipulatie van gegevens - Toegang tot gevoelige gegevens - Uitvoeren van willekeurige code (gebruikersrechten) - Uitvoeren van willekeurige code (root/admin) - Verkrijgen van verhoogde rechten - Omzeilen van een beveiligingsmaatregel - Spoofing Van de kwetsbaarheid met kenmerk CVE-2026-21265 meldt Microsoft informatie te hebben dat deze publiekelijk besproken wordt op fora. Een kwaadwillende kan de kwetsbaarheid misbruiken om Secure Boot te omzeilen. Misbruik is echter niet eenvoudig, vereist voorafgaande verhoogde rechten en een diepgaande kennis van het te compromitteren systeem. Grootschalig misbruik is hiermee zeer onwaarschijnlijk. Van de kwetsbaarheid met kenmerk CVE-2026-20805 meldt Microsoft dat deze als zeroday-kwetsbaarheid is misbruikt. Misbruik vereist lokale toegang en voorafgaande gebruikersauthenticatie. Verdere informatie is niet bekend gesteld. Grootschalig misbruik is niet waarschijnlijk. De kwetsbaarheid met kenmerk CVE-2023-31096 is een oudere kwetsbaarheid in Broadcom modem drivers, zoals gebruikt in de (verouderde) Agere modems. Hiervan is al langer Proof-of-Concept-code bekend, maar grootschalig misbruik heeft voor zover bekend nog niet plaatsgevonden. Microsoft heeft in deze update de drivers verwijderd. Een kwaadwillende kan deze kwetsbaarheid met kenmerk CVE-2026-20817 misbruiken doordat Windows Error Reporting onvoldoende controle uitvoert op rechten en privileges, waardoor een geautoriseerde aanvaller lokaal zijn rechten kan verhogen. Voor deze kwetsbaarheid is Proof-of-Concept-Code (PoC) verschenen. Het NCSC verwacht een toename in scan- en misbruikverkeer, waardoor de kans op misbruik kan toenemen. ``` Windows Remote Assistance: |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| |
