Hunting Windows LPE Flaws Through Kernel Drivers and Named Pipes
Posted: Fri Jan 02, 2026 5:49 pm
Security researchers from the Whitehat School recently completed an intensive bug-hunting project focused on identifying privilege escalation (LPE) flaws in Windows systems.
The findings reveal critical vulnerabilities in two major attack surfaces: kernel drivers and named pipes areas that cybersecurity teams should prioritize immediately.
The Kernel Driver Challenge
Kernel drivers represent a significant security risk because they operate at the system’s core, processing requests from user applications.
