CVE-2026-20824: Windows Remote Assistance Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability

**According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?** Exploitation of the vulnerability requires that a user open a specially crafted file. \* In an email attack scenario, an attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending the specially crafted file to the user and convincing the user to open the file. \* In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a website (or leverage a compromised website that accepts or hosts user-provided content) containing a specially crafted file designed to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker would have no way to force users to visit the website. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to click a link, typically by way of an enticement in an email or instant message, and then convince them to open the specially crafted file.

CVE-2026-20823: Windows File Explorer Information Disclosure Vulnerability

**According to the CVSS metrics, successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to some loss of confidentiality (C:L),but lead to no loss of availability (A:N) and integrity (I:N)? What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could view some sensitive information (Confidentiality) but not all resources within the impacted component may be divulged to the attacker. The attacker cannot make changes to disclosed information (Integrity) or limit access to the resource (Availability).

CVE-2026-20822: Windows Graphics Component Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

**According to the CVSS metric, a successful exploitation could lead to a scope change (S:C). What does this mean for this vulnerability?** In a GPU paravirtualization scenario, an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could traverse the guest’s security boundary to gain access to the host environment.

CVE-2026-20821: Remote Procedure Call Information Disclosure Vulnerability

**What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability?** The type of information that could be disclosed if an attacker successfully exploited this vulnerability is one byte of kernel memory could be leaked back to the attacker.

CVE-2026-20818: Windows Kernel Information Disclosure Vulnerability

Insertion of sensitive information into log file in Windows Kernel allows an unauthorized attacker to disclose information locally.

CVE-2026-20817: Windows Error Reporting Service Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain SYSTEM privileges.

CVE-2026-20819: Windows Virtualization-Based Security (VBS) Information Disclosure Vulnerability

**What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could view Virtual Trust Level 1 (VTL1) data from Virtual Trust 0 (VTL0) which is the least privileged level.

CVE-2026-20815: Capability Access Management Service (camsvc) Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to win a race condition.
