CVE-2026-80113: PassMark PerformanceTest, BurnInTest, and OSForensics Arbitrary Bit Clear via DirectIo64.sys IOCTL

• Severity: high (CVSS 7.1 v3.1)
• Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
• EPSS: 0.2% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
• Public exploit or detection template: none known
• Published: 2026-09-04 · updated 2026-09-10
• Weakness: CWE-782

Description

PassMark PerformanceTest before 11.1 build 1012, BurnInTest before 11.1 build 1000, and OSForensics before 11.1 build 1016 contain a privilege escalation vulnerability in DirectIo64.sys that allows local users to clear arbitrary bits at any physical memory address due to missing validation of the physical address parameter in an exposed IOCTL handler. Attackers can obtain a device handle and supply an arbitrary 64-bit physical address with a bit index to invoke MmMapIoSpace and clear bits in kernel code pages or page table entries, enabling local privilege escalation or system compromise.

Affected products

• PassMark Software BurnInTest: before 11.1 build 1000 — fixed in 11.1 build 1000

• PassMark Software PerformanceTest: before 11.1 build 1012 — fixed in 11.1 build 1012

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: PassMark Software BurnInTest 11.1 build 1000; PassMark Software OSForensics 11.1 build 1016; PassMark Software PerformanceTest 11.1 build 1012. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
