The estimated number of potentially affected devices and details about real-world incidents where this issue was exploited are not provided.
**Recommendations**
For WFS, Inc HeavenBurnsRed version 2020.3.15.7141260, consider updating to a newer version that uses ObRegisterCallbacks instead of PPL to mitigate the risk of local privilege escalation.

Avoid using the vulnerable IOCTL requests to the `wfshbr64.sys` and `wfshbr32.sys` drivers until the issue is resolved.
