CVE-2020-0806

CVE-2020-0806 is an elevation of privilege vulnerability in Windows Error Reporting (WER) that affects numerous versions of Microsoft Windows and Windows Server. This flaw allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges by manipulating how WER handles and executes files. The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 7.8 (High), indicating a significant risk. It requires local access and low privileges (PR:L) but can lead to high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H) without user interaction (UI:N). Currently, there is no evidence of active exploitation, and no public exploit code is available in Metasploit, Nuclei, or ExploitDB. Community discussion and media coverage are minimal, suggesting limited public attention beyond its initial disclosure during Microsoft's March 2020 Patch Tuesday.
