CVE-2025-24065 is a medium-severity vulnerability classified as CWE-125 (Out-of-bounds Read) found in the Windows Storage Management Provider component of Microsoft Windows 10 Version 1507 (build 10.0.10240.0). The flaw allows an authorized attacker with local access and limited privileges to read memory outside the intended buffer boundaries. This out-of-bounds read can lead to disclosure of sensitive information residing in adjacent memory areas, potentially exposing data such as credentials, cryptographic keys, or other confidential information. The vulnerability does not allow modification of data or disruption of system availability, as it is a read-only flaw. Exploitation does not require user interaction, but the attacker must have at least limited privileges on the affected system. The vulnerability was reserved in January 2025 and published in June 2025, with no known active exploits reported. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) reflects local attack vector, low complexity, limited privileges, no user interaction, unchanged scope, and high confidentiality impact. The affected product is an early release of Windows 10, which is largely superseded by newer versions, but may still be in use in legacy or embedded environments. No patches or mitigations were linked at the time of publication, indicating the need for vendor action or user upgrades.

The primary impact of CVE-2025-24065 is unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information on affected Windows 10 Version 1507 systems. Attackers with local access and limited privileges can exploit this vulnerability to read memory beyond intended boundaries, potentially extracting confidential data such as passwords, tokens, or encryption keys. While the vulnerability does not allow code execution, privilege escalation, or denial of service, the information disclosure can facilitate further attacks or compromise user privacy. Organizations running legacy Windows 10 systems, especially in environments where local access controls are weak, face increased risk. The scope is limited to local attackers, reducing the risk of widespread remote exploitation. However, in high-security environments or those handling sensitive data, even local information disclosure can have serious consequences. The lack of known exploits reduces immediate threat but does not eliminate future risk once exploit code becomes available.

To mitigate CVE-2025-24065, organizations should prioritize upgrading affected systems from Windows 10 Version 1507 to a supported and patched version of Windows 10 or later. Since no patches are currently linked, upgrading is the most effective mitigation. Additionally, enforce strict local access controls and limit user privileges to reduce the likelihood of an attacker gaining the necessary access to exploit this vulnerability. Employ endpoint protection solutions that monitor for suspicious local activity. Regularly audit systems to identify legacy or unsupported Windows versions and plan for their decommissioning. If upgrading is not immediately feasible, consider isolating affected systems from sensitive networks and data. Monitor vendor advisories for forthcoming patches and apply them promptly once available. Implementing memory protection technologies and enabling security features like Windows Defender Credential Guard may also help reduce exposure to information disclosure.
