Two severe unpatched zero-day vulnerabilities have been identified within the Microsoft ecosystem, targeting the BitLocker encryption feature. The first exploit, YellowKey, is a critical bypass that allows unauthorized access to encrypted data without the required keys. Accompanying it is GreenPlasma, a privilege escalation flaw that grants attackers elevated control over the host system. Together, these vulnerabilities pose a major risk to corporate and personal data security, as they effectively neutralize one of Windows' primary lines of defense against unauthorized physical and digital access.
