CVE-2025-32722
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 access control in Windows Storage Port Driver 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 confidenceImproper access control in Windows Storage Port Driver allows a local authenticated attacker to read sensitive information they should not have access to. The vulnerability stems from insufficient authorization checks within the storage port driver component, enabling information disclosure to authorized but unprivileged local users.

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.
-
Check Windows version and build numberOpen Settings > System > About, or run 'winver' command, or run 'systeminfo' in Command Prompt and look at 'OS Version' lineAffected if Build number is lower than the threshold for your Windows release: 10240.21034 (1507), 14393.8148 (1607), 17763.7434 (1809), 19044.5965 (21h2), 19045.5965 (22h2), 22621.5472 (11 22h2), 22631.5472 (11 23h2), or 26100.4270 (11 24h2)
-
Verify Windows Update patch installation statusOpen Settings > Windows Update > Update history, or run 'wmic qfe list' in Command Prompt to list installed hotfixesAffected if No security update for CVE-2025-32722 is listed in the installed updates
-
Confirm local authentication capabilityThis vulnerability requires a local user account on the system. Verify if untrusted local accounts exist or if the system is used by multiple usersAffected if Local non-administrator accounts are present and the system build is below the fixed version thresholds
The environment is affected if the Windows build number is below the version threshold for the installed Windows release and the system allows local user access.
