It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2025-26633 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2025-26633 is a high-severity vulnerability in Microsoft Windows 10 1507, published on 11 Mar 2025. 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-2025-26633 in the wild since at least 11 Mar 2025, including in ransomware campaigns.\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-2025-26633/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-26633/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-26633","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-26633/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-26633","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8xfh-434c-qfv7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows Management Console","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can bypass security features in Microsoft Management Console locally, requiring a patch for Windows systems.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"windows_10_1507","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_10_1607","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_10_1809","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_10_21h2","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_10_22h2","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_11_22h2","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_11_23h2","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_11_24h2","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2008","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2012","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2016","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2019","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2022","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2022_23h2","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2025","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:F/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-707","name":"Improper Neutralization"}],"description":"Improper neutralization in Microsoft Management Console allows an unauthorized attacker to bypass a security feature locally.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2025-04-08","github_poc":2,"max_poc_stars":4,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2025-11-22T10:08:14Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/mbanyamer/MSC-EvilTwin-Local-Privilege-Escalation","stars":4,"title":"CVE-2025-26633 (CVSS 7.8) – Zero-day MMC .msc EvilTwin LPE actively exploited by Water Gamayun APT.
