CVE-2026-32155 is an elevation-of-privilege vulnerability in Microsoft Desktop Window Manager caused by a use-after-free condition. The flaw arises from improper handling of memory object lifetime within Desktop Window Manager, allowing previously freed memory to be reused in a way that can be influenced during local exploitation. Microsoft classifies the issue as Important. The vulnerability is locally exploitable by an authorized attacker and does not require user interaction. Successful exploitation can result in privilege escalation from a low-privileged context.
