The ReadDirectoryChangesW API function on Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, and Vista does not check permissions for child objects, which allows local users to bypass permissions by opening a directory with LIST (READ) access and using ReadDirectoryChangesW to monitor changes of files that do not have LIST permissions, which can be leveraged to determine filenames, access times, and other sensitive information.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw lets a local Windows user learn information about protected files by watching directory change notifications. It does not describe remote compromise or code execution, but it can expose filenames, access times, and related metadata that permissions were meant to hide. Exposure is limited to systems running the listed Microsoft Windows versions with local users or processes able to access parent directories. The supplied sources do not identify newer affected versions or affected third-party products. Treat this as a legacy-platform exposure issue, not an internet-wide emergency. Prioritize affected multi-user or shared Windows systems that store sensitive filenames or operational metadata. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems running the listed Windows versions.; Check Microsoft or vendor guidance for fixes or supported upgrade paths.; Limit local interactive access on affected systems..
