CVE-2026-50663 is a relative path traversal vulnerability in Microsoft Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition Game. Affected versions include 1.0.0 through versions earlier than 101.103.46651.0. The flaw allows an unauthorized attacker to supply crafted content that causes the game to access files using attacker-influenced relative paths outside the intended directory boundaries. In the vulnerable condition, this path traversal can be leveraged over a network to achieve remote code execution. Available scoring information indicates network reachability, low attack complexity, no privileges required, and user interaction in the form of opening or processing attacker-supplied game content.
