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-2025-42701 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: CrowdStrike Falcon sensor for Windows. 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-2025-42701/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-42701/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-42701","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-42701/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-42701","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rxj5-2xg2-3qmw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"CrowdStrike Falcon Sensor","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A race condition in the Windows Falcon sensor allows local attackers to delete arbitrary files, requiring prior code execution on the host.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"CrowdStrike","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.6,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-367","name":"Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition"}],"description":"A race condition exists in the Falcon sensor for Windows that could allow an attacker, with the prior ability to execute code on a host, to delete arbitrary files.
