CVE-2024-21351 is a Windows SmartScreen security feature bypass vulnerability affecting Microsoft Windows. The flaw allows an attacker to circumvent SmartScreen protections when a user opens attacker-supplied content. Available reporting indicates the issue can permit code injection into SmartScreen, thereby bypassing trust and warning mechanisms intended to protect users from untrusted internet-originated files. Microsoft reported the vulnerability as exploited in the wild at the time of disclosure.
