What is CVE-2018-8988?
The Windows Optimization Master (version 7.99.13.604) features a vulnerability stemming from the driver file WoptiHWDetect.SYS, which inadequately validates input values on IOCtl 0xf1002008.

It is critical for users to be aware of this vulnerability to mitigate risks associated with user access and input handling.
