CVE-2026-33824 is a critical remote code execution vulnerability in Windows Internet Key Exchange (IKE) Service Extensions, associated with a double-free condition in ikeext.dll. The flaw is reachable in the IKEv2 processing path and can be triggered by an unauthenticated remote attacker sending specially crafted network packets to a Windows system acting as an IKEv2 responder. Exposed roles include Windows systems providing IPsec or VPN functionality, such as RRAS VPN, DirectAccess, and Always-On VPN infrastructure. Successful exploitation can result in code execution in a highly privileged context on the target system.
