CVE-2026-107782
System Informer before 4.0.26241.138 contains an incorrect authorization vulnerability in the phsvc helper that allows local attackers to reach privileged APIs by connecting from any Authenticode-signed process.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.11%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
