CVE-2024-25088
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedImproper privilege management in Jungo WinDriver before 12.5.1 allows local attackers to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceJungo WinDriver before version 12.5.1 contains an improper privilege management flaw that allows local authenticated attackers to escalate their privileges to SYSTEM level and execute arbitrary code. This is a local privilege escalation vulnerability requiring the attacker to have some level of local access to the target system.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Locate Jungo WinDriver installationSearch for 'WinDriver' in Program Files directories or check for files named 'windrvr*.sys' or 'windrvr*.sys' on the system. Also check the Windows registry under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Jungo for the installation path.Affected if WinDriver is installed and the version is below 12.5.1 or the version cannot be determined
-
Determine WinDriver versionRight-click on the main WinDriver executable or driver file (commonly windrvr.sys or wd.exe in the installation folder), select Properties, and check the File Version or Product Version field.Affected if The installed version is lower than 12.5.1
-
Check for Mitsubishi affected productsSearch for and identify any of these Mitsubishi applications on the system: CPU Module Logging Configuration Tool, CW Configurator, Data Transfer, Data Transfer Classic, Ezsocket, FR Configurator SW3, or FR Configurator2.Affected if Any of these Mitsubishi products are installed (all versions are affected regardless of WinDriver version)
-
Verify if WinDriver service is runningOpen Services (services.msc) and look for a service named 'WinDriver' or similar Jungo-related driver service. Check if it is running with elevated privileges.Affected if The WinDriver service exists and runs with elevated system privileges
You are affected if Jungo WinDriver version is below 12.5.1, or if any of the listed Mitsubishi products that bundle WinDriver are installed on the system.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped12.5.1
Upgrade Jungo WinDriver to version 12.5.1 or later. Since this is a local privilege escalation vulnerability, minimize the number of local users with access to affected systems and follow least-privilege principles until the patch is applied.
Jungo WinDriver 12.5.1 or later
- Identify the currently installed Jungo WinDriver version by checking the product documentation or system information
- Download Jungo WinDriver version 12.5.1 or later from the official Jungo vendor source
- Stop any running applications or services that utilize WinDriver
- Backup current WinDriver configurations and settings
- Install the upgraded WinDriver 12.5.1 version following the vendor installation guide
- Verify the installation was successful by checking the new version number
- Restart any affected applications or services
