What is CVE-2024-38246?

The elevation of privilege vulnerability within the Win32k component allows an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code at elevated privileges.

Systems running Windows 10 (versions 20H2 and later) and Windows Server 2022 are particularly at risk. Immediate remediation and updates are essential to mitigate potential exploits.
