Apr 2026: Windows Shell Spoofing Vulnerability
CVE-2026-32202 Published on April 14, 2026
Windows Shell Spoofing Vulnerability
Protection mechanism failure in Windows Shell allows an unauthorized attacker to perform spoofing over a network.
Weakness Type
Protection Mechanism Failure
The product does not use or incorrectly uses a protection mechanism that provides sufficient defense against directed attacks against the product. This weakness covers three distinct situations. A "missing" protection mechanism occurs when the application does not define any mechanism against a certain class of attack. An "insufficient" protection mechanism might provide some defenses - for example, against the most common attacks - but it does not protect against everything that is intended. Finally, an "ignored" mechanism occurs when a mechanism is available and in active use within the product, but the developer has not applied it in some code path.
