Technical details
A use-after-free vulnerability exists in Windows Autopilot, a memory safety flaw where the application attempts to access memory that has already been freed. The vulnerability requires an attacker to have local access and authorization to the affected system. Exploitation allows privilege escalation from a standard user context to a higher privilege level, potentially enabling full system compromise. The attack vector is local; no network access or user interaction is required beyond the initial authorized access.
