CVE-2026-50661 is a security feature bypass vulnerability in Windows BitLocker. The flaw allows an unauthorized attacker with physical access to an affected system to bypass BitLocker Device Encryption protections and obtain access to data that should remain protected at rest. Public reporting consistently characterizes the issue as requiring hands-on access to the target device rather than remote exploitation. Specific implementation details, including the exact vulnerable code path or function, are not currently available in the provided information.
