CVE-2026-44815 is a critical remote code execution vulnerability in the Windows DHCP Client caused by a stack-based buffer overflow. The flaw is triggered when the DHCP client processes crafted data supplied by a malicious DHCP server on the network. Available vendor information indicates the vulnerable condition is tied to handling associated with the DhcpGetOriginalSubnetMask API, and that crafted data from a malicious DHCP server is not used unless that API is called. Successful exploitation can allow arbitrary code execution over the network without user interaction, and the vulnerability affects a broadly deployed Windows networking component.
