    🪟 Microsoft calls it “Remote Code Execution,” but CVE-2026-49793 needs an authenticated local attacker. Still patch it—because ReFS shouldn’t become Windows’ newest crash-to-compromise shortcut. https://windowsforum.com/threads/cve-2026-49793-fixes-refs-local-code-execution-in-july-updates.438336/?utm_source=x&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=news_node84 #WindowsSecurity #PatchManagement #RefsVulnerability https://t.co/gwyxdnTIIw

    Post summary

    The tweet highlights Microsoft’s CVE-2026-49793 as a local RCE in ReFS and urges users to patch to prevent exploitation.
