CVE-2026-50680 is a critical elevation-of-privilege vulnerability in Windows Hyper-V caused by a heap-based buffer overflow. The flaw allows memory corruption within the affected Hyper-V component, enabling a locally authorized attacker to trigger out-of-bounds writes in heap memory and leverage the condition to execute actions with higher privileges than intended. On successful exploitation, the attacker can elevate privileges on the local system, including escalation to SYSTEM on affected Windows Hyper-V hosts.
