CVE-2026-50512
High CVSS 7.8Published 2026-06-09 ยท last changed 2026-07-23
The fix
Microsoft fixes this in a Microsoft Store app update, so Windows Update and WSUS won't deliver it. The app at the version below, or later, has the fix.
| App | Fixed in version | Package | Released |
|---|---|---|---|
| Microsoft PC Manager | 3.21.6.0 | Microsoft.MicrosoftPCManager | 2026-11-05 |
The Store updates these apps on its own schedule. A machine with Store updates turned off, or no
Store access at all (common on managed fleets), keeps the old version.
To check one, run Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftPCManager and
compare its Version to the table.
What it is
Missing authentication for critical function in Microsoft PC Manager allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.
