CVE-2026-21248 is a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in Windows Hyper-V. The flaw allows a locally authorized attacker to trigger memory corruption in the Hyper-V component, leading to code execution. Available reporting identifies the issue as a heap overflow and classifies it as a Windows Hyper-V remote code execution vulnerability, but the described attack condition specifies local exploitation by an authorized attacker rather than unauthenticated network-only compromise. Specific vulnerable functions, code paths, and triggering inputs are not currently available.
