System Error: nctfmon.exe
I am experiencing a critical issue upon entering safe mode on my computer. A warning message has appeared indicating the following error:
ctfmon.exe - Critical System Alert
A stack-based buffer overrun has been detected by the system in this application. This security vulnerability may enable unauthorized control over the application.
I am currently running OS version 23H2 Build 22631.3880.
Is anyone else facing this recent error scenario?

The error message you're seeing related to ctfmon.exe and a stack-based buffer overrun is concerning, as it suggests a potential security vulnerability or malware issue. Ctfmon.exe is a legitimate Windows process associated with language and input services, but if it's behaving unexpectedly, it could be malicious or corrupted.
ctfmon.exe is a process that manages the input method editor (IME) and other input-related features in Windows. It's a legitimate system process, but in some cases, it can cause issues.
