CVE-2025-58323 is a local privilege escalation vulnerability found in NAVER MYBOX Explorer for Windows versions prior to 3.0.8.133. The vulnerability arises due to improper privilege checks during the execution of arbitrary files, allowing a local attacker to escalate their privileges to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM, the highest privilege level on Windows systems. This vulnerability is classified under CWE-266, which relates to incorrect privilege assignment. An attacker who already has local access to the affected system could exploit this flaw by executing specially crafted files that bypass the intended privilege restrictions, thereby gaining full system control. The vulnerability does not require remote access or network interaction, but it does require local code execution capabilities. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no official patches or updates have been linked yet. The lack of a CVSS score indicates that the severity has not been formally assessed, but the technical details suggest a significant risk due to the potential for full system compromise.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a serious risk, especially in environments where NAVER MYBOX Explorer is used for file management or cloud storage synchronization on Windows endpoints. Successful exploitation would allow attackers to gain SYSTEM-level privileges, enabling them to install malware, access sensitive data, modify system configurations, or create persistent backdoors. This could lead to data breaches, disruption of business operations, and compliance violations under regulations such as GDPR. The threat is particularly concerning for organizations with less stringent endpoint security controls or those that allow users to install or run untrusted software locally. Additionally, sectors with high-value targets such as finance, healthcare, and critical infrastructure could face severe operational and reputational damage if attackers leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and move laterally within networks.

Organizations should proactively monitor for updates from NAVER and apply patches as soon as they become available. In the absence of official patches, administrators should restrict local user permissions to the minimum necessary, enforce application whitelisting to prevent execution of unauthorized files, and deploy endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to identify suspicious privilege escalation attempts. Regular auditing of user privileges and system logs can help detect early signs of exploitation. Network segmentation and the use of least privilege principles for local accounts can limit the impact of a successful attack. Additionally, educating users about the risks of executing untrusted files and implementing strict software installation policies will reduce the likelihood of exploitation.
