AI Analysis

Impact

An out-of-bounds read occurs within Microsoft Windows SCSI Class System File, allowing an adversary who can access the target system physically to read memory locations beyond the intended buffer. This flaw provides unauthorized disclosure of potentially sensitive data stored in the system file, such as credentials, configuration details, or other confidential information. The weakness corresponds to CWE‑125, which denotes out-of-bounds read vulnerabilities that can compromise confidentiality without altering the system state or requiring elevated privileges.

Affected Systems

Microsoft Windows 10 versions 1809, 21H2, and 22H2; Microsoft Windows 11 versions 23H2, 24H2, 25H2, and 26H1; and Microsoft Windows Server 2019, Server 2022, Server 2025, including their Server Core installations. All affected editions run on x86, x64, ARM64 architectures as listed.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.6 places this vulnerability in the medium severity range. No EPSS data is available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The required attack vector is physical access to the machine with a SCSI Class device, meaning the risk is limited to environments where physical security is inadequate. If such access is possible, an attacker can exploit the out-of-bounds read to disclose confidential information, though the impact does not extend to remote code execution, denial of service, or privilege escalation.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest security updates released by Microsoft for Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server 2019/2022/2025 and reboot the systems to enforce the fix.
  • Limit physical access to the affected machines and enforce strict physical security controls to prevent unauthorized contact with SCSI devices. If such controls cannot be assured, consider disabling non‑essential SCSI Class device drivers via Group Policy or BIOS/UEFI until the update is applied.
  • If the official patch cannot be applied immediately, isolate the affected systems from remote management and restrict SCSI device access to authorized personnel only while monitoring for suspicious activity.
