CVE-2026-54999 is a high-severity remote code execution vulnerability in the Windows TCP/IP stack caused by improper synchronization during concurrent execution, resulting in a race condition. The flaw is classified as CWE-362. An unauthorized attacker can exploit the condition over an adjacent network without requiring privileges or user interaction. Microsoft rates the issue with CVSS v3.1 8.8 (AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating low attack complexity and high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Affected platforms include multiple supported Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server releases, including certain Server Core installations.
