CVE-2026-47652
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedHeap-based buffer overflow in Windows Hyper-V allows an authorized attacker to execute code locally.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceHeap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in Windows Hyper-V hypervisor allowing an authorized local attacker to execute arbitrary code. The vulnerability resides in the hypervisor's memory management and enables privilege escalation from a guest VM to the host system.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm Hyper-V role is enabledRun 'Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V' or check in Programs and Features > Windows Features. Alternatively, run 'systeminfo' and look for Hyper-V in the list.Affected if Hyper-V is installed and the status shows Enabled or the feature is listed as present
-
Check Windows build versionRun 'winver' or 'systeminfo' and note the OS Name and OS Version/Build Number. For PowerShell, run '[System.Environment]::OSVersion.Version' or 'Get-ComputerInfo | Select-Object OsBuildNumber,OsVersion'Affected if The build number matches any of the affected versions listed (23h2, 24h2, 25h2, 26h1, Server 2022, or Server 2025) and is below the fixed build numbers
-
Compare against affected version rangesMatch your detected build number to these thresholds: Windows 11 23h2 < 10.0.22631.7219, Windows 11 24h2 < 10.0.26100.8655, Windows 11 25h2 < 10.0.26200.8655, Windows 11 26h1 < 10.0.28000.2269, Windows Server 2022 < 10.0.20348.5256, Windows Server 2025 < 10.0.26100.32995Affected if Your installed Windows build number falls below the corresponding threshold for your Windows version and Hyper-V is enabled
You are affected if Hyper-V is enabled and your Windows build version is lower than the fixed version for your specific Windows release.

Apply Microsoft security updates for Windows Hyper-V once released. Prioritize patching Hyper-V hosts in production environments given the high CVSS score and local privilege escalation vector.
Install KB updates to reach: Windows 11 23h2 >= 10.0.22631.7219 | Windows 11 24h2 >= 10.0.26100.8655 | Windows 11 25h2 >= 10.0.26200.8655 | Windows 11 26h1 >= 10.0.28000.2269 | Windows Server 2022 >= 10.0.20348.5256 | Windows Server 2025 >= 10.0.26100.32995
- Open Windows Settings and navigate to Windows Update
- Check for updates and install all available security updates
- Alternatively, manually download and install the specific KB patch from Microsoft Update Catalog corresponding to your Windows version
- Restart the system after installing updates
- Verify the build version matches or exceeds the fixed version for your Windows release (e.g., 10.0.22631.7219 for Windows 11 23h2)
