Listen to this Post

CVE-2026-85880 is a heap-based buffer overflow in Windows ALPC.
ALPC is the Advanced Local Procedure Call mechanism in Windows.
ALPC supports local inter-process communication between user and privileged components.

The vulnerability is tracked as CWE-122 and CWE-908.

CWE-122 is heap-based buffer overflow.

CWE-908 is use of uninitialized resource.

Microsoft Corporation is the source for the CVE.

The NVD published the CVE on Sep 08, 2026.
The NVD last modified the CVE on Sep 09, 2026.
CISA added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog.
CISA lists the vulnerability name as Microsoft Windows Heap-Based Buffer Overflow Vulnerability.

CISA added it on September 08, 2026.

CISA due date is September 22, 2026.

The description states an authorized attacker can elevate privileges locally.
The attack requires local access and authorized user context.

The vulnerable component handles ALPC messages.

A crafted ALPC message can trigger an out-of-bounds heap write.
The overflow may corrupt adjacent heap metadata or objects.
Uninitialized resource use may affect message state or pointer handling.

Memory corruption can lead to privilege escalation.

Successful exploitation may execute code in a higher-integrity context.

The impact is local elevation of privileges.
