CrowdStrike Falcon zero-day 'FalconFlank' enables SYSTEM privilege escalation

An anonymous researcher released a zero-day exploit for CrowdStrike Falcon, allowing local privilege escalation to SYSTEM on fully patched Windows systems. The exploit's release is confirmed, but its real-world impact and CrowdStrike's response remain uncertain. This matters because Falcon is widely deployed in enterprise environments, and a reliable local privilege escalation could be leveraged in broader attacks.
