It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2025-50168 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2025-50168 is a high-severity vulnerability in Microsoft Windows 11 22h2, published on 12 Aug 2025. 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-2025-50168 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows 11 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-2025-50168/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-50168/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-50168","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-50168/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-50168","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xfmm-x85m-hhmr"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows OS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authorized local attacker can exploit a type confusion flaw in Windows Win32K to elevate privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"windows_11_22h2","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_11_23h2","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_11_24h2","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2022_23h2","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2025","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-843","name":"Access of Resource Using Incompatible Type"},{"id":"CWE-122","name":"Heap-based Buffer Overflow"}],"description":"Access of resource using incompatible type ('type confusion') in Windows Win32K - ICOMP allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2025-11-01","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":147,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2025-11-01T13:02:31Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/D4m0n/CVE-2025-50168-pwn2own-berlin-2025","stars":147,"title":"CVE-2025-50168 Exploit PoC — Pwn2Own Berlin 2025 - LPE(Windows 11) winning bug."}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Win32k Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-50168","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows_11_22h2","products":["microsoft:windows_11_22h2","microsoft:windows_11_23h2","microsoft:windows_11_24h2","microsoft:windows_server_2022_23h2","microsoft:windows_server_2025"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Windows SMB Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-50169"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Windows Hyper-V Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-50167"},"products":["Windows 11 Version 23H2","Windows 11 Version 24H2","Windows 11 version 22H2","Windows 11 version 22H3","Windows Server 2022, 23H2 Edition (Server Core installation)","Windows Server 2025","Windows Server 2025 (Server Core installation)"],"published":"2025-08-12","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Windows Hyper-V Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-49117","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-12-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Windows OLE Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-21435","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-12"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2) Kernel Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-24084","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-03-11"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Remote Desktop Spoofing Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-33054","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-07-08"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Windows Schannel Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-29828","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-06-10"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Microsoft Windows VMSwitch Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-43625","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-11-12"},{"cvss_score":8,"headline":"Secure Boot Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-37978","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-09"}],"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)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-02-26","vendors":["Microsoft"]},"summary":"An authorized local attacker can exploit a type confusion flaw in Windows Win32K to elevate privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-50168/"}
