📄 Description (English)

Concurrent execution using shared resource with improper synchronization ('race condition') in Windows Device Association Service allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

🤖 AI Executive Summary

CVE-2026-24295 is a local privilege escalation vulnerability in Windows Device Association Service affecting multiple Windows 10 versions. The race condition in shared resource handling allows authenticated attackers to elevate privileges locally. With a CVSS score of 7.0 and no public exploit currently available, this poses a moderate-to-high risk requiring prompt patching across Saudi enterprise environments.

🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia Impact Assessment
This vulnerability primarily impacts Saudi government agencies, banking sector (SAMA-regulated institutions), and large enterprises running Windows 10 across their infrastructure. Government entities using Windows 10 for administrative workstations face elevated risk of insider threats and lateral movement. Banking and financial institutions are at risk due to potential compromise of workstations with access to critical systems. Telecom operators (STC, Mobily) and energy sector organizations (ARAMCO) managing Windows-based operational technology environments require immediate attention. Healthcare institutions using Windows 10 for clinical and administrative systems could face service disruption.

⚖️ Saudi Risk Score (AI)
7.2
/ 10.0
🔧 Remediation Steps (English)
IMMEDIATE ACTIONS:
1. Inventory all Windows 10 systems across the organization, specifically identifying versions 1607, 1809, 21H2, and 22H2 (both x86, x64, and ARM64)
2. Prioritize patching for systems with elevated privileges or access to critical infrastructure
3. Restrict local access to Device Association Service where possible through Group Policy

PATCHING GUIDANCE:
1. Apply Microsoft's latest security update for Windows 10 immediately upon availability
2. Test patches in non-production environments first, particularly for critical systems
3. Deploy patches using WSUS or Microsoft Endpoint Manager for centralized management
4. Verify patch installation using 'Get-HotFix' PowerShell command

COMPENSATING CONTROLS (if patching delayed):
1. Disable Device Association Service (daasvc) if not required: Set-Service -Name daasvc -StartupType Disabled
2. Implement application whitelisting to prevent unauthorized privilege escalation attempts
3. Enable Windows Defender Application Guard for additional isolation
4. Enforce principle of least privilege - remove unnecessary local admin rights
5. Monitor Event Viewer for suspicious process creation and privilege escalation attempts

DETECTION RULES:
1. Monitor for daasvc.exe spawning unexpected child processes
2. Alert on failed privilege escalation attempts in Security Event Log (Event ID 4688)
3. Track creation of temporary files in %TEMP% directory during daasvc execution
4. Monitor for unusual registry modifications under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\daasvc
🔧 خطوات المعالجة (العربية)
الإجراءات الفورية:
1. قم بحصر جميع أنظمة Windows 10 عبر المؤسسة، مع تحديد الإصدارات 1607 و1809 و21H2 و22H2 (x86 و x64 و ARM64)
2. أولويات التصحيح للأنظمة ذات الامتيازات المرتفعة أو الوصول إلى البنية التحتية الحرجة
3. تقييد الوصول المحلي إلى خدمة ربط الأجهزة حيث أمكن من خلال Group Policy

إرشادات التصحيح:
1. تطبيق أحدث تحديث أمان من Microsoft لـ Windows 10 فور توفره
2. اختبار التصحيحات في بيئات غير الإنتاج أولاً، خاصة للأنظمة الحرجة
3. نشر التصحيحات باستخدام WSUS أو Microsoft Endpoint Manager للإدارة المركزية
4. التحقق من تثبيت التصحيح باستخدام أمر PowerShell 'Get-HotFix'

الضوابط البديلة (إذا تأخر التصحيح):
1. تعطيل خدمة ربط الأجهزة (daasvc) إذا لم تكن مطلوبة: Set-Service -Name daasvc -StartupType Disabled
2. تنفيذ القائمة البيضاء للتطبيقات لمنع محاولات تصعيد الامتيازات غير المصرح بها
3. تفعيل Windows Defender Application Guard للعزل الإضافي
4. فرض مبدأ أقل امتياز - إزالة حقوق المسؤول المحلي غير الضرورية
5. مراقبة Event Viewer للعمليات المريبة ومحاولات تصعيد الامتيازات

قواعد الكشف:
1. مراقبة daasvc.exe لإنشاء عمليات فرعية غير متوقعة
2. تنبيهات محاولات تصعيد الامتيازات الفاشلة في سجل الأمان (معرف الحدث 4688)
3. تتبع إنشاء الملفات المؤقتة في دليل %TEMP% أثناء تنفيذ daasvc
4. مراقبة تعديلات السجل غير العادية تحت HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\daasvc
