CVE-2026-47571: NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows kernel-mode escape authorization bypass

CVE-2026-47571 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.8 · Published 2026-09-30

NVIDIA's GPU Display Driver for Windows contains a flaw in how it validates user permissions for certain kernel-level operations. An attacker with local access to a Windows system could bypass these permission checks, potentially gaining elevated privileges or executing code with higher permissions than intended. This could lead to data theft, system compromise, or installation of malware.

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in kernel-mode escape handling where insufficient authorization checks allow a local attacker to bypass intended restrictions on client execution context. The flaw can be exploited by a local user without authentication to escalate privileges, disclose information, modify data, cause denial of service, or execute arbitrary code in kernel context.
