12‑Byte Syscall in Browser Sandbox Grants SYSTEM on Windows (CVE‑2026‑40369 PoC)
The article details CVE‑2026‑40369, a Windows kernel flaw in ExpGetProcessInformation where a zero‑length buffer bypasses ProbeForWrite, allowing a browser sandbox process to write arbitrary kernel memory with a 12‑byte syscall, leading to a deterministic, fully‑reliable privilege‑escalation chain that grants SYSTEM without race conditions, and discusses detection and mitigation.
