Adjacent Network RCE in Windows Native WiFi Miniport Driver
CVE-2026-32161 is a critical vulnerability in the Windows Native WiFi Miniport Driver caused by concurrent execution using a shared resource with improper synchronization, i.e., a race condition. The provided content also characterizes the issue as involving a use-after-free condition in the driver. Successful exploitation allows an unauthorized attacker on an adjacent network to trigger code execution on the target system via the vulnerable Wi-Fi driver path. Based on the available information, the flaw is reachable over an adjacent network rather than requiring local execution, but exploitation complexity is described as high.
