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-2025-57699 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Western Digital Kitfox 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-2025-57699/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-57699/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-57699","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-57699/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-57699","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-54g2-grv7-f82c"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Western Digital Kitfox","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"A local attacker with write access to the system drive root can execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges due to an unquoted service path.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"jpcert","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.4,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-428","name":"Unquoted Search Path or Element"}],"description":"Western Digital Kitfox for Windows provided by Western Digital Corporation registers a Windows service with an unquoted file path.\r\nA user with the write permission on the root directory of the system drive may execute arbitrary code with the SYSTEM privilege.","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":"Privilege escalation in Western Digital Kitfox for Windows","id":"CVE-2025-57699","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Stored Cross-site Scripting in DIAEnergie","id":"CVE-2025-57700"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"AstrBot contains a directory traversal vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-57698"},"products":["Western Digital Kitfox for Windows"],"published":"2025-08-22","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"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":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-08-22","vendors":["Western Digital Corporation"]},"summary":"A local attacker with write access to the system drive root can execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges due to an unquoted service path.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-57699/"}
