Microsoft has released a patch that fixes the 0-day vulnerability in Windows 10, Bleeping Computer reports.

The danger lies in the fact that the flaw allows attackers to elevate their privileges on the local system to the administrator level. The portal urged users to immediately install the latest Windows update to protect their personal data.

This vulnerability is already being used in attacks by highly skilled hacker groups.

Microsoft said that the presence of a gap in the OS was reported to her by a researcher known by the nickname RyeLv.

He didn't tell Microsoft about it because the company was taking a long time to pay out money for his previous find.
