CVE-2026-32177 is an elevation-of-privilege vulnerability in the .NET runtime caused by a heap-based buffer overflow, with associated improper input validation conditions. The flaw allows data to be written beyond the bounds of a heap-allocated buffer in the runtime’s native layer, which can corrupt adjacent heap metadata or objects. Microsoft rated the issue Important and disclosed it in May 2026. The vulnerability affects .NET 10.0, .NET 9.0, .NET 8.0, and multiple supported .NET Framework versions including 3.5, 4.6.2, 4.7, 4.7.2, 4.8, and 4.8.1. Successful exploitation requires local access and user interaction, but no prior privileges.
