Researchers from cybersecurity firm Cybereason have discovered a new Microsoft endpoint vulnerability that could potentially impact millions of users. The vulnerability, which is present in the Microsoft Windows Error Reporting (WER) service, could allow attackers to gain remote code execution on a target system.
The WER service is used by Microsoft to collect crash data from user computers in order to improve the stability of its products. However, the researchers found that the service contains a flaw that could be exploited by attackers.
If exploited, the vulnerability could allow an attacker to remotely execute code on the target system. This could potentially lead to a full compromise of the system. The researchers have not released any details on how the vulnerability could be exploited.
Microsoft has not yet released a patch for the vulnerability. However, the company has acknowledged the issue and is working on a fix. Users are advised to exercise caution and take steps to protect their systems until a patch is released.
