CVE-2026-41477 is a local privilege-escalation vulnerability in the Deskflow daemon on Windows. The daemon runs as SYSTEM and exposes a privileged IPC named pipe with world-access permissions. It accepts and processes privileged commands through this pipe without authenticating the connecting client, allowing an unprivileged local user to submit arbitrary commands for execution in the daemon's SYSTEM security context. The issue affects stable Deskflow releases through 1.20.0 and Continuous builds through 1.26.0.134.
