What is Windows Privilege Escalation?

Windows privilege escalation is the process of gaining higher levels of access or permissions on a Windows system beyond what is initially granted to a user or application. This can be achieved through exploiting vulnerabilities in the system or applications running on it, such as misconfigured permissions, weak passwords, or outdated software. Once elevated privileges are obtained, an attacker can perform various malicious activities on the system, such as accessing sensitive data, modifying system settings, or installing malware. Proper security measures, such as regular software updates and strong passwords, can help prevent privilege escalation attacks.
