CVE-2025-24996: NTLM Hash Disclosure Spoofing Vulnerability

**According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?** Minimal interaction with a malicious file by a user such as selecting (single-click), inspecting (right-click), or performing an action other than opening or executing the file could trigger this vulnerability.

**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain SYSTEM privileges.

CVE-2025-24984: Windows NTFS Information Disclosure Vulnerability

**According to the CVSS metric, the Attack Vector is Physical (AV:P). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An attacker needs physical access to the target computer to plug in a malicious USB drive.

CVE-2025-24983: Windows Win32 Kernel Subsystem Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to win a race condition.

CVE-2025-24084: Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2) Kernel Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** Exploitation of this vulnerability requires that an attacker send a malicious link to the victim via email, or that they convince the user to click the link, typically by way of an enticement in an email or Instant Messenger message. In the worst-case email attack scenario, an attacker could send a specially crafted email to the user without a requirement that the victim open, read, or click on the link. This could result in the attacker executing remote code on the victim's machine. When multiple attack vectors can be used, we assign a score based on the scenario with the higher risk (UI:N).

CVE-2025-24076: Microsoft Windows Cross Device Service Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would first have to log on to the system. An attacker could then trigger an event that could exploit the vulnerability and save an invalid state to a database or trigger other unintended actions.
