CVE-2025-58322 is a local privilege escalation vulnerability found in NAVER MYBOX Explorer for Windows versions prior to 3.0.8.133. The vulnerability arises from improper privilege checks (classified under CWE-266: Incorrect Privilege Assignment), which allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary commands with elevated privileges, specifically escalating to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM level. This means an attacker who already has local access to the affected system can leverage this flaw to gain full system control, bypassing normal security restrictions. The vulnerability does not require remote access or network connectivity, but does require local code execution or access. No public exploits are currently known in the wild, and no CVSS score has been assigned yet. NAVER MYBOX Explorer is a Windows-based file management and cloud synchronization tool developed by NAVER, a South Korean company. The lack of a patch link suggests that a fix may not yet be publicly available or is pending release. The vulnerability's technical root cause is the failure to properly enforce privilege boundaries when executing commands, allowing privilege escalation from a lower-privileged user to SYSTEM, the highest Windows privilege level.

For European organizations, the impact of this vulnerability could be significant if NAVER MYBOX Explorer is in use within their IT environments. Successful exploitation would allow an attacker with local access to fully compromise affected Windows systems, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, system manipulation, installation of persistent malware, or lateral movement within networks. This could result in data breaches, operational disruption, and loss of integrity and availability of critical systems. Given that the vulnerability requires local access, the risk is higher in environments where endpoint security is weak or where users have the ability to run untrusted code. Organizations relying on NAVER MYBOX Explorer for file synchronization or management could face increased risk, especially if the software is deployed on systems with sensitive data or critical infrastructure. The absence of known exploits reduces immediate risk, but the potential for future exploitation remains, particularly if the vulnerability becomes publicly known without a timely patch.

European organizations should immediately inventory their environments to identify any installations of NAVER MYBOX Explorer, particularly versions prior to 3.0.8.133. Until a patch is released, organizations should restrict local access to systems running this software, enforce strict endpoint security policies, and limit user privileges to the minimum necessary to reduce the risk of local exploitation. Employ application whitelisting to prevent unauthorized execution of code and monitor for suspicious local command execution activities. Additionally, organizations should implement robust logging and alerting on privilege escalation attempts and review user account permissions regularly. Once a patch becomes available from NAVER, prompt deployment is critical. If NAVER MYBOX Explorer is not essential, consider uninstalling or disabling it temporarily to eliminate exposure. Network segmentation and endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions can also help detect and contain potential exploitation attempts.
