Lpe

A critical local privilege escalation (LPE) vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-17523 and identified as an Expired Pointer Dereference (CWE-825), exists within the kernel, primarily affecting Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, enabling an unprivileged local user to execute arbitrary code within the kernel, leading to root privileges and full control over the compromised system.

A local privilege escalation vulnerability (CVE-2026-36213) in MEmu Android Emulator 9.2.7.0 allows a low-privileged user to replace the 'MemuService.exe' binary due to insecure NTFS permissions, leading to arbitrary code execution with NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM privileges upon service restart.

The Cortex MCP server (`neuro-cortex-memory`) is vulnerable to local arbitrary code execution (CVE-2026-49986) when a user opens an attacker-controlled project in the Claude Code IDE and invokes the `open_visualization` tool, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary Python code with the victim's local user privileges by manipulating the `CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR` environment variable.

CVE-2026-31635, dubbed DirtyDecrypt, is a local privilege escalation vulnerability in the Linux kernel's rxrpc subsystem (rxgk component), allowing an unprivileged user to corrupt page cache and achieve arbitrary file writes, leading to root access on kernels 6.10 to 6.13 with CONFIG_RXGK enabled.

RegPwn is a now-fixed local privilege escalation vulnerability in Windows that allowed an attacker to gain elevated privileges.

The TVicPort64.sys driver, signed by EnTech Taiwan in 2006, is vulnerable to arbitrary physical memory mapping, enabling local privilege escalation on Windows systems.
