Key insight
The NVD advisory only describes a local privilege escalation without information on active exploitation, PoC, or attacker TTPs.
Description
The vulnerability is a stack-based buffer overflow in Windows Credential Manager. An authorized attacker with local user privileges can thereby elevate privileges on the affected system. Exploitation requires local access or an already compromised session. The NVD description provides no indication of active exploitation, a public PoC, or KEV inclusion. Windows systems with Credential Manager are affected; the advisory does not contain specific patch or version details.
