An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-53779 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows Server 2025. 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-2025-53779/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-53779/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-53779","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-53779/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-53779","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-93cj-3754-25wf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows Server Kerberos","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An authorized attacker can elevate privileges via relative path traversal in Windows Kerberos over the network.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"windows_server_2025","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:F/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-23","name":"Relative Path Traversal"}],"description":"Relative path traversal in Windows Kerberos allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges over a network.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2025-11-19","github_poc":3,"max_poc_stars":46,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2025-11-19T03:27:51Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/b5null/Invoke-BadSuccessor.ps1","stars":46,"title":"PowerShell Script to automatically abuse the BadSuccessor vulnerability (CVE-2025-53779)"},{"date":"2026-06-05T05:30:47Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/Musa-xvi/Active-Directory-BadSuccessor","stars":0,"title":"A TryHackme room covering the CVE-2025-53779 exploitation using windows"},{"date":"2026-07-24T06:38:52Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/razureink/cve-2025-53779-kerberos_bypass_reproduction","stars":0,"title":"Reproduction of cve-2025-53779-kerberos_bypass_reproduction"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Windows Kerberos Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-53779","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows_server_2025","products":["microsoft:windows_server_2025"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Azure Virtual Machines Information Disclosure Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-53781"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Windows NTLM Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-53778"},"products":["Windows Server 2025","Windows Server 2025 (Server Core installation)"],"published":"2025-08-12","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Windows Storport Miniport Driver Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-69765","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-13"},{"cvss_score":8,"headline":"Windows DNS Server Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-49169","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-14"},{"cvss_score":8,"headline":"Windows Kernel-Mode Driver Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-34332","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-12"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Windows DNS Server Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-72928","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-08"},{"cvss_score":7,"headline":"Capability Access Management Service (camsvc) Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-20830","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-01-13"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Windows Storport Miniport Driver Denial of Service Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-34350","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-12"}],"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 attacker can elevate privileges via relative path traversal in Windows Kerberos over the network.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-53779/"}
