High CVSS 7.8
CVE-2026-58636
Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in Window PC Manager allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.
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.
- Weakness
- The program follows a symbolic link without checking its target, so a local attacker can redirect it to a sensitive file.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
