CVE-2025-24069
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 · uneditedOut-of-bounds read in Windows Storage Management Provider allows an authorized attacker to disclose information locally.
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 · moderate confidenceOut-of-bounds read vulnerability in Windows Storage Management Provider enables a locally authenticated attacker to read memory beyond intended boundaries, potentially disclosing sensitive information. The vulnerability stems from improper bounds checking in the storage management component.

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.
-
Determine Windows version numberRun 'winver' from command prompt or check HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion in Registry for the Build Number valueAffected if The installed build number falls below the threshold for your specific Windows release (10.0.10240 for 1507, 10.0.14393 for 1607, 10.0.17763 for 1809, 10.0.19044 for 21h2, 10.0.19045 for 22h2, 10.0.22621 for 11 22h2, 10.0.22631 for 11 23h2, 10.0.26100 for 11 24h2)
-
Confirm Windows release branchRun 'winver' to identify if the system is Windows 10 1507, 1607, 1809, 21h2, 22h2, or Windows 11 22h2, 23h2, or 24h2Affected if The system matches any of the affected release branches listed in the CVE
-
Check Storage Management Provider serviceRun 'Get-Service -Name Storsvc' in PowerShell or check Services list for 'Windows Storage Management Service'Affected if The StorSvc service exists and is present on the system (this is the vulnerable component)
-
Verify local authentication contextReview user account privileges on the system using 'whoami /all' or Local Users and Groups managementAffected if An attacker with local authenticated access to the system can trigger the vulnerable code path in Storage Management Provider
A system is affected if it runs any of the listed Windows 10 or Windows 11 versions with a build number lower than the fixed version AND has the Storage Management Provider component present.
