CVE-2026-50507 is a Windows BitLocker security feature bypass vulnerability caused by missing authentication for a critical function, resulting in a protection mechanism failure in BitLocker. The flaw allows an unauthorized attacker with physical access to a vulnerable device to bypass BitLocker Device Encryption on the system storage device and access data that should remain protected at rest. Public reporting associates the issue with the BitLocker bypass technique referred to as bitskrieg, although the specific vulnerable function has not been publicly described in detail. Microsoft assessed the issue as publicly disclosed and exploitation more likely, and proof-of-concept code is available.
