CVE-2025-26630 is a use-after-free vulnerability in Microsoft Access that can lead to code execution. The flaw is triggered when Access processes a specially crafted malicious file, causing the application to reference memory after it has been freed. Available reporting characterizes the issue as a remote code execution vulnerability in delivery terms, but exploitation occurs locally in the context of the user who opens the malicious Access file. Microsoft assessed exploitation as less likely and indicated that the Preview Pane is not an attack vector.
