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-2025-68947 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: NSecsoft NSecKrnl. 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-2025-68947/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68947/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-68947","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68947/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-68947","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jrr7-75c4-9c5m"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows kernel driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can terminate protected system processes via the NSecKrnl driver, leading to privilege escalation and denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisa-cg","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.7,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:H/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"NSecsoft 'NSecKrnl' is a Windows driver that allows a local, authenticated attacker to terminate processes owned by other users, including SYSTEM and Protected Processes by issuing crafted IOCTL requests to the driver.","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":"NSecsoft NSecKrnl process termination privilege escalation","id":"CVE-2025-68947","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"SiYuan: Information Disclosure and Authentication Bypass via Hardcoded Session Secret","id":"CVE-2025-68948"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Gitea vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting","id":"CVE-2025-68946"},"products":["NSecKrnl"],"published":"2026-01-13","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":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-03-10","vendors":["NSecsoft"]},"summary":"A local attacker can terminate protected system processes via the NSecKrnl driver, leading to privilege escalation and denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68947/"}
