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-2025-53769 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows Security App. 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-2025-53769/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-53769/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-53769","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-53769/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-53769","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-78fp-x36m-f5gf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows Security App","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authorized local attacker can exploit path control flaws in the Windows Security App to perform spoofing attacks.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"windows_security_app","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:U/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 Windows Security App allows an authorized attacker to perform spoofing 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":"Windows Security App Spoofing Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-53769","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Microsoft SharePoint Deserialization of Untrusted Data","id":"CVE-2025-53770"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Xbox IStorageService Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-53768"},"products":["Windows Security App"],"published":"2025-08-12","related":[{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Windows Security App Spoofing Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-47956","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-06-10"}],"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":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-02-13","vendors":["Microsoft"]},"summary":"An authorized local attacker can exploit path control flaws in the Windows Security App to perform spoofing attacks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-53769/"}
