CVE-2024-43502

Status: AnalyzedHigh (7.1)—

Windows Kernel Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

🎯 ATT&CK techniques

How this vulnerability is exploited and what the attacker gains, in MITRE ATT&CK terms.

Vulnerabilidad local sin interacción (AV:L, UI:N, PR:L) que escala privilegios en el kernel de Windows. Impactos: acceso a datos confidenciales (C:H) y denegación de servicio (A:H).

Inferred by our analysis agent from the official description, CVSS vector and CWE, and checked by a supervisor. May contain errors.
