CVE-2026-23668 is a local elevation-of-privilege vulnerability in the Microsoft Windows Graphics Component caused by improper synchronization during concurrent access to a shared resource. The flaw is described as a race condition arising from insufficient locking while performing operations on an object. Public reporting associates the issue with Windows graphics-related drivers, including cdd.dll and win32kfull. An attacker who can already execute code with low privileges on a vulnerable Windows system may win the race and corrupt or misuse object state, resulting in arbitrary code execution in the SYSTEM security context.
