An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2025-33053 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2025-33053 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in Microsoft Windows 10 1507, published on 10 Jun 2025. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2025-33053 in the wild since at least 10 Jun 2025.\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-2025-33053/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-33053/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-33053","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-33053/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-33053","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-26qv-p8cr-jxp5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows Internet Shortcut","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can execute arbitrary code remotely by exploiting path traversal in Internet Shortcut files on Windows systems.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"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":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:F/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-73","name":"External Control of File Name or Path"}],"description":"External control of file name or path in Internet Shortcut Files allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2025-06-11","github_poc":5,"max_poc_stars":63,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2025-06-12T06:48:55Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/DevBuiHieu/CVE-2025-33053-Proof-Of-Concept","stars":63,"title":"CVE-2025-33053 Proof Of Concept (PoC)"},{"date":"2025-06-18T19:39:41Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/kra1t0/CVE-2025-33053-WebDAV-RCE-PoC-and-C2-Concept","stars":3,"title":"Proof-of-Concept for CVE-2025-33053  Exploiting WebDAV with .url file delivery to demonstrate realistic remote code execution.
