It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2015-6175 in the wild since at least 25 May 2022.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows 10 1507. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-6175/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-6175/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-6175","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-6175/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-6175","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4r4r-223f-8hjj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows Kernel","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Local attackers can gain elevated privileges on Windows 10 systems by exploiting a vulnerability in the kernel via a crafted application.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"windows_10_1507","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"The kernel in Microsoft Windows 10 Gold allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted application, aka \"Windows Kernel Memory Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability.\"","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"exploited"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Kernel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2015-6175","indexable":true,"kev":{"dateAdded":"2022-05-25","dueDate":"2022-06-15","knownRansomwareCampaignUse":"Unknown","product":"Windows","requiredAction":"Apply updates per vendor instructions.","vendorProject":"Microsoft","vulnerabilityName":"Microsoft Windows Kernel Privilege Escalation Vulnerability"},"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows_10_1507","products":["microsoft:windows_10_1507"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-6176"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-6174"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2015-12-09","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Search Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2017-8543","kev_date_added":"2022-05-24","published":"2017-06-15"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows External Control of File Name or Path","id":"CVE-2025-33053","kev_date_added":"2025-06-10","published":"2025-06-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows SMB Client Improper Access Control","id":"CVE-2025-33073","kev_date_added":"2025-10-20","published":"2025-06-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Task Scheduler Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2024-49039","kev_date_added":"2024-11-12","published":"2024-11-12"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows MSHTML Platform Spoofing","id":"CVE-2024-43461","kev_date_added":"2024-09-16","published":"2024-09-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows MSHTML Platform Security Feature Bypass","id":"CVE-2024-30040","kev_date_added":"2024-05-14","published":"2024-05-14"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows SmartScreen Security Feature Bypass","id":"CVE-2023-36025","kev_date_added":"2023-11-14","published":"2023-11-14"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0 1.0","name":"CISA KEV"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"active","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-10-21","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can gain elevated privileges on Windows 10 systems by exploiting a vulnerability in the kernel via a crafted application.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-6175/"}
