Summary
Concurrent execution using shared resource with improper synchronization in Microsoft Brokering File System allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally. This vulnerability can lead to significant security risks if exploited. Attackers can gain higher privileges than intended, potentially compromising system integrity.
Details
| Severity | Base Score | CVE |
|---|---|---|
| HIGH | 7 | CVE-2025-62469 |
Exploitation
To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must have local access to the system and be able to execute code. By taking advantage of the race condition in the Brokering File System, the attacker can manipulate the timing of operations to gain elevated privileges. This requires a high level of skill and knowledge of the system’s operations.
Affected Products
- Microsoft Brokering File System: A file system that manages file operations and access control, vulnerable to privilege escalation due to improper synchronization.
Mitigation
To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to apply the latest security updates provided by Microsoft. Regularly monitoring and updating systems can help prevent exploitation. Additionally, restricting local access to sensitive systems can reduce the risk of unauthorized privilege escalation.
