Attackers can exploit unsynchronized read-modify-write operations without locking to cause registry updates to lose data, resurrect removed entries, or corrupt sandbox state affecting list, prune, and recreate operations.
Problem types
CWE-362: Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')
Product status
Any version before 2026.2.19
2026.2.19 (semver)
