New Windows Zero-Day Exploit ‘RoguePlanet’ Released

A new zero-day exploit named RoguePlanet has been discovered targeting Microsoft’s Windows operating system, disclosed by security researcher Nightmare Eclipse. The exploit allows local privilege escalation (LPE) by exploiting a race condition in Microsoft Defender and can facilitate remote code execution (RCE) through deceptive .vhd(x) files. RoguePlanet may also bypass BitLocker encryption. The proof-of-concept has been tested on Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems but does not function on Windows Server, although the researcher believes all Windows Server versions are vulnerable. Following its release, RoguePlanet was confirmed by other researchers to spawn a command prompt with SYSTEM privileges on patched computers. This disclosure comes after Microsoft released patches for earlier exploits by Nightmare Eclipse, including GreenPlasma and YellowKey. The researcher has expressed dissatisfaction with Microsoft’s vulnerability disclosure process, alleging legal action against them and the suspension of their GitHub account, leading to the publication of RoguePlanet under a new account.

Your PC’s trust in Windows has an expiration date

Microsoft will change Secure Boot certificates in June 2026, impacting Windows 11 PCs. If users do not update the certificates, their PCs may still function but will lack critical boot updates and malware blacklists, potentially compromising security. Without the new certificates, systems cannot run the latest Windows Boot Manager, making them vulnerable to bootkit malware and hindering future Windows feature updates. Older computers using BIOS are exempt from this issue. The new Secure Boot certificates are valid until 2038. Users can check their Secure Boot status in the Windows Security app; a green circle indicates readiness for the deadline.
