CVE-2026-25190 is a local code execution vulnerability in Windows GDI caused by an untrusted search path condition. The flaw allows Windows GDI to load or resolve resources from an attacker-controlled path under certain conditions, creating an opportunity for execution of attacker-supplied code. The issue is described as an untrusted search path vulnerability and has been characterized as a remote code execution issue in vendor reporting, with additional reporting indicating it may be combined with a separate GDI+ information disclosure flaw, CVE-2026-25181, to improve exploit reliability and bypass a Windows security feature. The available information does not identify the exact vulnerable function or code path within GDI.
