# Windows Setup and Deployment: double free lets a local user gain privileges

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-105547 (this .md is for agents)

A double free bug in Windows Setup and Deployment lets an attacker who already has authorized local access raise their privileges. The sources give no further detail on the trigger or the affected Windows builds.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## Affected

- vendor:Windows 10 Version 1809 / Windows Server 2019 affected >= 10.0.17763.0, < 10.0.17763.9487 fixed 10.0.17763.9487
- vendor:Windows 10 Version 21H2 affected >= 10.0.19044.0, < 10.0.19044.7846 fixed 10.0.19044.7846
- vendor:Windows 10 Version 22H2 affected >= 10.0.19045.0, < 10.0.19045.7846 fixed 10.0.19045.7846
- vendor:Windows Server 2022 affected >= 10.0.20348.0, < 10.0.20348.5870 fixed 10.0.20348.5870
- vendor:Windows 11 Version 23H2 affected >= 10.0.22631.0, < 10.0.22631.7711 fixed 10.0.22631.7711
- vendor:Windows 11 Version 24H2 affected >= 10.0.26100.0, < 10.0.26100.9974 fixed 10.0.26100.9974
- vendor:Windows Server 2025 affected >= 10.0.26100.0, < 10.0.26100.33822 fixed 10.0.26100.33822
- vendor:Windows 11 Version 25H2 affected >= 10.0.26200.0, < 10.0.26200.9974 fixed 10.0.26200.9974
- vendor:Windows 11 Version 26H1 affected >= 10.0.28000.0, < 10.0.28000.3501 fixed 10.0.28000.3501
- vendor:Windows 11 Version 26H2 affected >= 10.0.26300.0, < 10.0.26300.9974 fixed 10.0.26300.9974

## How to check

Run winver or [System.Environment]::OSVersion.Version (PowerShell) and compare the full build.revision with the fixed build for your Windows version; lower means exposed. Only local, low-privileged authenticated access is needed (AV:L, AC:H).

## Fix

Install the November 2026 (10 Nov) Windows cumulative update so the build is at or above the fixed one: Win10 1809/Server 2019 10.0.17763.9487; Win10 21H2 10.0.19044.7846; Win10 22H2 10.0.19045.7846; Server 2022 10.0.20348.5870; Win11 23H2 10.0.22631.7711; Win11 24H2 10.0.26100.9974; Server 2025 10.0.26100.33822; Win11 25H2 10.0.26200.9974; Win11 26H1 10.0.28000.3501; Win11 26H2 10.0.26300.9974.
