Summary
The screensaver on Windows NT 4.0, 2000, XP, and 2002 does not verify if a domain account has already been locked when a valid password is provided, which makes it easier for users with physical access to conduct brute force password guessing.
Exploit prediction
1.97% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 80% of all scored CVEs (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-08).
