Crucial Storage Executive, published on 26 Jan 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-71178 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Micron Technology, Inc. Crucial Storage Executive. 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-2025-71178/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-71178/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-71178","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-71178/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-71178","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w8jf-p253-j3hj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Storage management software","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A local attacker can achieve administrator privileges by placing a malicious DLL in the installer directory, exploiting DLL preloading in Crucial Storage Executive.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulnCheck","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-427","name":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element"}],"description":"Crucial Storage Executive installer versions prior to 11.08.082025.00 contain a DLL preloading vulnerability.
