It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-27488 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows 10 HLK Version 22H2. 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-2025-27488/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-27488/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-27488","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-27488/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-27488","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jmqx-9m4w-qghh"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows Hardware Lab Kit","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Hard-coded credentials in Windows HLK allow local attackers to elevate privileges, requiring patches for affected Windows versions.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"hardcoded_credentials"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"windows_hardware_lab_kit","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":6.7,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-798","name":"Use of Hard-coded Credentials"}],"description":"Use of hard-coded credentials in Windows Hardware Lab Kit allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Hardware Lab Kit (HLK) Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-27488","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"hardcoded_credentials","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Azure Local Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-27489"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Remote Desktop Client Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-27487"},"products":["Windows 10 HLK Version 22H2","Windows 10 HLK version 20H2","Windows 10 HLK version 21H1","Windows 10 HLK version 21H2","Windows 11 HLK 22H2","Windows 11 HLK 24H2","Windows HLK for Windows 10 version 2004","Windows HLK for Windows Server 2019","Windows HLK for Windows Server 2022","Windows HLK for Windows Server 2025","Windows HLK, version 1809"],"published":"2025-05-13","related":[],"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":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-02-13","vendors":["Microsoft"]},"summary":"Hard-coded credentials in Windows HLK allow local attackers to elevate privileges, requiring patches for affected Windows versions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-27488/"}
