CVE-2020-1480 is an elevation of privilege vulnerability in the Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI) affecting Windows 10, Windows Server 2016, and Windows Server 2019. An attacker could exploit this by logging onto the system and running a specially crafted application, leading to arbitrary code execution in kernel mode with full system control. Rated 7.8 HIGH, this vulnerability requires local access and has low attack complexity, but its potential impact is severe, allowing data manipulation, program installation, and account creation. There is no public exploit code available (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), it is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, and community discussion and media coverage are minimal, suggesting it is not actively exploited.
