Summary

CVE-2025-26681 is a vulnerability affecting Microsoft Windows' Win32K component. This issue allows an attacker who has already gained authorized access to the system to potentially elevate their privileges further by exploiting a use-after-free condition in the GRFX subsystem. Successful exploitation could result in the attacker gaining higher-level system access, enabling them to install programs, view, change, or delete data at the highest level. Users are advised to apply the forthcoming Microsoft patch as soon as it becomes available to mitigate this risk.
