Microsoft Windows Kernel Zero-Day (Priority: Critical)
CVE ID: CVE-2025-62215
Severity: High (CVSS 7.0) – Active Exploitation Elevates Urgency
The Flaw: A race condition vulnerability in the Windows Kernel.
Attack Vector: An attacker with low-level local access (e.g., a compromised user account) can trigger this race condition to escalate privileges to SYSTEM.
Why it matters: This is the “missing link” attackers need. They often use a simple phishing email to get a foothold (low privilege) and then use this zero-day to take over the entire machine (SYSTEM privilege).
Action: Ensure the November 2025 Patch Tuesday cumulative updates are applied to all workstations and servers.
