A use-after-free in Microsoft’s Connected Devices Platform Service (Cdpsvc) lets an already authorized attacker raise privileges on the local system. The attacker must be logged on locally; no user interaction is required, and the conditions are difficult to meet. Successful exploitation can give high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Microsoft has not listed affected builds.
