A researcher with the alias “Chaotic Eclipse” has posted a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for a vulnerability they named “RedSun”. It is a local privilege escalation flaw that allows malicious actors SYSTEM privileges in the latest versions of Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server, with Windows Defender enabled.

Apparently, the researcher was unsatisfied with the way Microsoft handles vulnerability disclosure.
"Normally, I would go through the process of begging them to fix a bug but to summarize, I was told personally by them that they will ruin my life and they did and I'm not sure if I was the only who had this horride experience or few people did but I think most would just eat it and cut their losses but for me, they took away everything," Chaotic Eclipse apparently said.
"They mopped the floor with me and pulled every childish game they could. It was soo bad at some point I was wondering if I was dealing with a massive corporation or someone who is just having fun seeing me suffer but it seems to be a collective decision."

I hadn't seen the TechRadar story when I posted the one from TechCrunch with that generic headline. The TechRadar headline is way too long for LBN OPs, though.
