# Windows: Connected Devices Platform service flaw lets local users gain privileges

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-96007 (this .md is for agents)

A use-after-free bug in the Windows Connected Devices Platform Service (Cdpsvc) lets a signed-in user corrupt memory and raise their privileges on the same machine. Exploitation requires local access and an existing authorized account.

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

## How to check

Unknown until Microsoft's Security Update Guide entry for CVE-2026-96007 is readable. Check the MSRC entry for the KB for your Windows build, then compare installed updates (Get-HotFix, or winver for the build). Cdpsvc runs on Windows desktops and servers by default; check Get-Service CDPSvc.

## Timeline

- 2026-11-10T19:25:26+00:00 nvd https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-96007
- 2026-11-10T20:11:34+00:00 analyst https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-96007 — MSRC page is JS-only and returned nothing via web-cli; NVD page returned no text. Search found only sibling Cdpsvc CVEs (e.g. CVE-2026-24292, March 2026), which are not this one. Affected builds and fixed KB not confirmed; nothing marked verified. Needs MSRC entry text (try browser-cli) to settle.
