Windows Hyper-V Out-of-Bounds Read Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

IdentifiersCVE-2026-45607CWE-125· Out-of-bounds Read

CVE-2026-45607 is a critical out-of-bounds read vulnerability in Windows Hyper-V. According to the provided content, the flaw affects Hyper-V and is classified as CWE-125. Microsoft describes it as allowing an unauthorized attacker to execute code locally. Supporting reporting further characterizes this issue as one of several critical Hyper-V flaws that can enable guest-to-host escape, where an attacker on a guest VM can trigger the vulnerability via specially crafted file operation requests to hardware resources and potentially achieve code execution on the host server.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation can result in code execution in the Hyper-V host context from a local attack position. Based on the supplied context, this may enable guest-to-host escape, allowing compromise of the host server from a guest virtual machine. The CVSS vector provided in the content (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) indicates high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

No specific vendor workaround or mitigation is provided in the supplied content. Until patches can be applied, reduce exposure by limiting untrusted access to guest VMs, restricting the ability to issue crafted file operation requests to Hyper-V-exposed hardware resources, and minimizing opportunities for hostile or untrusted workloads to run on Hyper-V guests that share sensitive hosts.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Apply the Microsoft security update for CVE-2026-45607 referenced in the Microsoft Security Response Center update guide as part of the June 2026 security release. The provided content does not include affected version granularity, so remediation should be treated as patching all affected Windows Hyper-V deployments per Microsoft guidance.
