Sensitive data storage in improperly locked memory in Windows Update Stack allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.
Weakness
The product stores sensitive data in memory that is not locked, or that has been incorrectly locked, which might cause the memory to be written to swap files on disk by the virtual memory manager. This can make the data more accessible to external actors.
