High CVSS 7.8
CVE-2026-12168
An improper validation vulnerability for driver `GFAC_Sys_x64.sys` in Little Orbit GFAC allows a local attacker to escalate privileges to SYSTEM and execute arbitrary code in kernel mode via crafted messages sent through a Minifilter communication port.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable with local access to the machine, with an ordinary user account and with no action from the victim.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
