Security Officer Comments:
The zero-day fixed by Microsoft is being tracked as CVE-2025-62215. CVE-2025-62215 is a Windows Kernel flaw that enables actors to gain SYSTEM privileges on targeted systems. The vulnerability stems from a race condition wherein concurrent execution using a shared resource occurs without proper synchronization. By exploiting this condition, actors could elevate their privileges locally, effectively gaining full control over the affected system.

Although Microsoft stated it is aware of attacks in the wild leveraging CVE-2025-62215, it has not shared the details of these intrusions. To prevent further exploitation, the vendor recommends users apply the updates released as soon as possible.
