Status: AnalyzedHigh (7)—

Concurrent execution using shared resource with improper synchronization ('race condition') in Universal Print Management Service allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

CVSS

Version: 3.1
Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Base score: 7

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.39%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 30
Score date: 10/6/2026

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).
