CVE-2026-62823 is a remote code execution vulnerability in Windows DHCP Server caused by a heap-based buffer overflow. The flaw allows an unauthorized attacker on an adjacent network to send crafted network traffic to a vulnerable DHCP Server instance and trigger memory corruption in the server process. Microsoft classifies the issue as CWE-122 and assigns CVSS v3.1 vector AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, indicating low attack complexity, no required privileges, and no user interaction. Successful exploitation can result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the affected service, with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
