CVE-2026-69793: Microsoft Windows TCP/IP security feature bypass

CVE-2026-69793 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.5 · Published 2026-09-08

Windows TCP/IP, the core networking stack used in all Windows systems, contains a flaw that allows an attacker on the network to circumvent a security feature. This could enable an attacker to bypass critical protections designed to prevent unauthorized network access or attacks, potentially leading to further compromise of the system or network.

Technologies: Microsoft Windows TCP/IP. Vendors: Microsoft.

Technical details

A vulnerability in Windows TCP/IP involves improper validation of consistency within input, which allows an attacker to bypass a security feature over a network. The flaw stems from insufficient input validation in the TCP/IP stack. An attacker with network access can exploit this vulnerability without requiring authentication or user interaction. The attack could result in circumventing network-level protections. Patches are expected to be available from Microsoft.
