Everything related to the security and privacy of the applications we install on our computers is crucial these days. But this becomes especially serious when vulnerabilities attack the operating system itself, as is currently happening with Windows.

This is the case we're discussing here, as a significant security vulnerability has been detected in the kernel of the latest versions of Windows. This affects several versions of the software giant's operating system, such as Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server.

We're telling you all this because Windows users should be aware of a new security issue. A cybersecurity agency issued a high-severity warning a few days ago regarding a vulnerability that affects multiple versions of Windows, including some of the most recent builds of Windows 11.

To give you a better idea of the severity of the problem, this vulnerability is located in the Windows kernel itself. Here we're referring to the core part of the operating system that manages almost everything, from memory to communication with the hardware. According to the security experts who discovered it, the vulnerability stems from a condition that prevents the operating system from properly managing multiple processes that attempt to use the same shared resource simultaneously.

Therefore, if an attacker already has low-level access to the system, they can exploit this vulnerability to gain high-level permissions. In other words, someone with limited access could obtain full administrator privileges, allowing them to mani[CENSORED]te data, install malware, disrupt services, or take complete control of the PC.

 

How to get rid of this Windows security flaw
First of all, we must consider that this security flaw we're referring to here is present in certain versions of Microsoft's operating system. These are listed below:

Windows 10: Versions 1809, 21H2, and 22H2.
Windows 11: Versions 22H3, 23H2, 24H2, and 25H2.
Windows Server: 2019, 2022, and 2025.
Thus, given that this is a serious vulnerability related to local privilege escalation, attackers cannot initially exploit it remotely. They need some level of access to the computer first. The problem is that if they gain access, even through another minor vulnerability or by logging into a shared computer, they can obtain full Windows system permissions.

Moreover, on shared computers, in offices, and especially on servers, this can become a serious security problem. It can affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the operating system—that is, all critical aspects of any computer's security.

 

security patches. Therefore, the solution is simple: we just need to update your device. To do this, open the Settings app and go to the Windows Update section. Now, click the button to check for updates and install all available updates for your version of Windows.
