Analyze CVE-2026-113753 with Vani AIImpact, affected versions, exploitation status, mitigations and detection

An untrusted pointer dereference in Windows Hyper-V lets an already authorized attacker elevate privileges. The attacker must have high privileges and local access; no user interaction is required. Successful exploitation yields high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and the scope change can affect resources beyond the vulnerable component. Systems running Hyper-V are affected; Microsoft has not listed affected builds.

What to do: Apply Microsoft's update for CVE-2026-113753. No workaround is stated.
