CVE-2026-70351 – Microsoft WebP Image Extension Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

CVSS 8.8 IMPORTANT Critical - Same Day Deployment

“A malicious WebP file could turn a simple file-open action into remote code execution, putting systems and data at serious risk.”

An integer overflow or wraparound in the Microsoft WebP Image Extension can lead to a heap-based buffer overflow and remote code execution. An unauthorized attacker can target the vulnerability over a network, but exploitation requires a user to open a specially crafted file. No privileges are required. Successful exploitation can have a high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
