Risk summary
Not in the CISA KEV catalog. EPSS exploit probability 4.9%. CVSS 7.8 (High).
This CVE is among the top half of tracked Microsoft CVEs by EPSS exploit probability.
This is an elevation of privilege flaw in the VHD miniport driver, rated Critical with a CVSS of 9.9, which is unusually high for a local privilege escalation and suggests low complexity with no privileges required. Exposure is limited to Windows 10 Version 1809 (32-bit and x64) and Windows Server 2019, so shops still running the 1809 branch are the ones at risk. It is not in CISA KEV and EPSS sits at 7 percent, so there is no confirmed exploitation yet, but the 9.9 score means a successful attacker could gain full control from a low-privilege foothold.
Do this: Deploy the Microsoft patch for this VHD miniport driver flaw to all Windows 10 1809 and Server 2019 systems in your next patch window.
