Microsoft DWM Core Library Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

A flaw in Windows Desktop Window Manager allows someone already logged into a computer to gain higher-level access by exploiting memory that was already freed. This matters because it lets a regular user become an administrator.

Use-after-free vulnerability in Microsoft DWM Core Library enables privilege escalation via exploitation of freed memory regions. Attack requires prior local authentication; successful exploitation grants elevated privileges, typically SYSTEM-level access, allowing complete system compromise.
