CVE-2025-64670 is a vulnerability classified under CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor) found in the Microsoft Graphics Component of Windows Server 2022 (build 10.0.20348.0). The issue allows an attacker with authorized access and low complexity to disclose sensitive information over a network without requiring user interaction. The vulnerability does not impact system integrity or availability but compromises confidentiality, potentially leaking sensitive data to unauthorized parties. The attack vector is network-based, and the attacker must have some level of privileges (PR:L) but no user interaction is needed (UI:N). The CVSS v3.1 base score is 6.5, reflecting a medium severity level due to the high confidentiality impact but limited scope and no integrity or availability impact. No public exploits or patches have been reported or released as of the publication date (December 9, 2025). The vulnerability is significant because Windows Server 2022 is widely used in enterprise environments, including in Europe, for critical infrastructure and business operations. The Graphics Component vulnerability could be leveraged in targeted attacks to extract sensitive information, which may include credentials, configuration data, or other confidential information relevant to the server environment. The lack of known exploits suggests this is a recently discovered issue, but the presence of network exposure and low attack complexity warrants proactive mitigation.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a risk of sensitive data leakage from Windows Server 2022 systems, which could lead to unauthorized disclosure of confidential business information, intellectual property, or personally identifiable information (PII). Sectors such as finance, healthcare, government, and critical infrastructure that rely heavily on Windows Server 2022 may face increased risk of espionage or data breaches. Although the vulnerability does not allow system takeover or denial of service, the exposure of sensitive information can facilitate further attacks, including privilege escalation or lateral movement within networks. The medium severity rating indicates that while the impact is significant, exploitation requires some level of privilege and network access, limiting the scope to insiders or attackers who have already compromised part of the environment. European organizations with stringent data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR) must consider the potential compliance implications of such data exposure. The vulnerability could also undermine trust in IT infrastructure and lead to reputational damage if exploited.

1. Monitor Microsoft’s security advisories closely and apply official patches or updates as soon as they become available to remediate the vulnerability. 2. Restrict network access to Windows Server 2022 systems, especially limiting exposure of the Graphics Component services to only trusted internal networks or VPNs. 3. Implement strict access controls and least privilege principles to reduce the number of users or processes with the required privileges to exploit this vulnerability. 4. Employ network segmentation to isolate critical servers and reduce the attack surface. 5. Use intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS) to monitor for unusual network activity that could indicate attempts to exploit information disclosure. 6. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability scans focusing on Windows Server 2022 deployments to identify and remediate misconfigurations or outdated software versions. 7. Educate system administrators about the vulnerability and encourage prompt reporting of suspicious activities. 8. Consider additional encryption of sensitive data at rest and in transit to mitigate the impact of potential information leaks.
