Serious problem on Windows operating system, users need to know to avoid being hacked

(NLDO) - A Windows vulnerability has allowed "hackers" to elevate their rights to the highest level on the computer and take full control.

Microsoft has just released patches for 63 new security vulnerabilities in its products, including one that is being actively exploited by hackers.

Of these, four vulnerabilities are rated as critical, while the rest are high risk, involving the potential to take control of a machine, leak data, disrupt services, or bypass security features.

Most notably, there is a Windows vulnerability that allows "hackers" - even with only basic access - to elevate their privileges to the highest level on the machine and take full control.

Microsoft has just released patches for 63 new security vulnerabilities in its products.

Security experts warn that this bug is often used after hackers have already penetrated the system by other means, such as opening a malicious file or phishing, to expand control.

Combined with other vulnerabilities, this bug could turn a remote attack into a complete takeover of the machine.

Microsoft also patched two memory overflow vulnerabilities in the Windows graphics component and Windows Subsystem for Linux, allowing attackers to take control of a device remotely.

Another important vulnerability lies in Kerberos, the enterprise user authentication mechanism. This flaw allows hackers to impersonate users, gain administrative rights, and even take control of the entire system if successfully exploited.

Because Kerberos is part of Active Directory, every enterprise using this system is at risk.

In recent weeks, many major tech companies have also released security updates to protect users, including Adobe, Apple, Google, Cisco, Dell, HP, IBM, Intel, NVIDIA, Oracle, Samsung, VMware, and many Linux distributions.
