A security researcher known as Chaotic Eclipse has released a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for Microsoft Defender, demonstrating an arbitrary file read as SYSTEM with the latest version of Windows installed.

The vulnerability, codenamed ShieldCrash, is a patch bypass for CVE-2026-69414 (CVSS score: 7.8), also called ShieldBreak, which Chaotic Eclipse reported last month.

Much like previous exploits released by the researcher, this PoC shows that while Microsoft patched some issues related to ShieldBreak, they missed a spot where it can still be exploited.
