Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Local: The vulnerable component is not bound to the network stack and the attacker’s path is via read/write/execute capabilities. Either: the attacker exploits the vulnerability by accessing the target system locally (e.g., keyboard, console), or remotely (e.g., SSH); or the attacker relies on User Interaction by another person to perform actions required to exploit the vulnerability (e.g., tricking a legitimate user into opening a malicious document).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.
Exploit Code Maturity: Unproven: No exploit code is available, or an exploit is theoretical.
Remediation Level: Official Fix: A complete vendor solution is available. Either the vendor has issued an official patch, or an upgrade is available.
Report Confidence: Confirmed: Detailed reports exist, or functional reproduction is possible (functional exploits may provide this). Source code is available to independently verify the assertions of the research, or the author or vendor of the affected code has confirmed the presence of the vulnerability.

Exploitation evidence

CVE published 10 Jun 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.

Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2025-33055, organizations should prioritize upgrading affected systems from Windows 10 Version 1507 to a supported and updated Windows version where this vulnerability is addressed. If upgrading is not immediately feasible, restrict local access to affected systems by enforcing strict access controls and limiting user privileges to the minimum necessary. Employ endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to monitor for suspicious local activity that could indicate exploitation attempts. Regularly audit local accounts and remove or disable unnecessary accounts to reduce the attack surface. Implement application whitelisting and system hardening to prevent unauthorized execution of code that could leverage this vulnerability. Additionally, monitor Microsoft security advisories for patches or updates related to this CVE and apply them promptly once available. Educate users about the risks of local privilege abuse and enforce policies that prevent unauthorized physical or remote local access. Finally, consider deploying memory protection technologies and exploit mitigation tools that can help detect or prevent out-of-bounds memory access attempts.

Description

Out-of-bounds read in Windows Storage Management Provider allows an authorized attacker to disclose information locally.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2025-33055 is unauthorized local disclosure of sensitive information due to out-of-bounds memory reads. While it does not allow privilege escalation, code execution, or denial of service, the exposure of confidential data can facilitate further attacks, such as credential theft or lateral movement within an organization. Systems running Windows 10 Version 1507, often legacy or unsupported environments, are at risk if local attackers gain access. This vulnerability could be exploited by malicious insiders or attackers who have gained limited local access through other means. The medium severity rating reflects the moderate risk posed by information disclosure without direct system compromise. Organizations relying on legacy Windows 10 installations may face increased risk, especially in environments where local user accounts are shared or poorly controlled. The absence of known exploits reduces immediate threat but does not eliminate risk, especially as attackers may develop exploits over time. The vulnerability's impact is confined to confidentiality, with no direct effect on system integrity or availability.
