Windows Kernel Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

A flaw in the Windows Kernel allows an attacker with local access to run malicious code with system-level privileges, bypassing normal security restrictions. This is dangerous because it gives complete control over the computer.

This CWE-822 vulnerability in the Windows Kernel permits local privilege escalation through improper handling of kernel objects or memory. An authenticated local attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code in kernel mode, achieving full system compromise without user interaction beyond initial local access.
