CVE-2026-32161 is a critical remote code execution vulnerability in the Windows Native WiFi Miniport Driver, a kernel-mode component of the Windows Native WiFi stack. The flaw is described as concurrent execution using a shared resource with improper synchronization, resulting in a race condition, and supporting reporting further characterizes the bug as involving a use-after-free condition. In the vulnerable code path, concurrent operations can cause a memory object to be freed while it is still referenced by another execution context, creating a window in which an attacker can influence subsequent memory use and redirect execution flow. The issue is reachable from an adjacent network and does not require authentication or user interaction. Because the vulnerable component operates in kernel context, successful exploitation can lead directly to code execution within the Windows kernel.
