CVE-2025-49744 is an elevation of privilege vulnerability in the Microsoft Windows Graphics Component. The flaw is described as a heap-based buffer overflow that can be triggered by a locally authorized attacker. Associated weakness classifications also include integer underflow and race condition conditions, indicating memory handling and execution-order issues may contribute to exploitation. Microsoft assessed the issue as requiring local access, low privileges, and no user interaction, with high attack complexity. Successful exploitation can result in privilege escalation from a low-privileged local context into specific limited SYSTEM privileges.
