CVE-2026-12168
An improper validation vulnerability for driver `GFAC_Sys_x64.sys` in Little Orbit GFAC allows a local attacker to escalate privileges to SYSTEM and execute arbitrary code in kernel mode via crafted messages sent through a Minifilter communication port.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.17%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
