CVE-2026-43672

What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable with local access to the machine and without authentication — but only if a user opens booby-trapped content.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data and modify or destroy data.
- Weakness
- An authorisation check exists but its logic is wrong.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
