This CVE is among the lower half of tracked Microsoft CVEs by EPSS exploit probability.
The Software Protection Platform, the licensing service that validates Windows activation, is an unexpected host for a Critical (CVSS 9.9) elevation of privilege flaw on Windows 11 25H2 and Windows 10 1809. SPP runs with high privileges on every installation, licensed or not, so the attack surface is unavoidable. EPSS reads 6 percent with no confirmed exploitation.
