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 confidenceAn out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in the Windows Storage Management Provider that allows a locally authenticated, authorized attacker to read sensitive information from memory outside the intended buffer boundaries.

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 Command Prompt or PowerShell and run 'winver' or 'systeminfo | findstr /B /C:"OS Name" /C:"OS Version"' to obtain the full version and build numberAffected if The build number is lower than the fixed version for your specific Windows release (e.g., < 10.0.14393.8148 for Windows 10 1607/Server 2016, < 10.0.17763.7434 for Windows 10 1809, etc.)
-
Identify exact Windows release versionRun 'winver' to determine if the system is Windows 10 1607, 1809, 21h2, 22h2, or Windows 11 22h2, 23h2, 24h2, or Windows Server 2016Affected if The system matches one of the affected product versions listed AND the build number is below the corresponding fixed threshold
-
Verify Storage Management Provider component presenceCheck for the presence of storage management components by running 'Get-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\Packages" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Select-Object' or look for 'StorageManagement' in installed Windows featuresAffected if The Storage Management Provider component is installed on the system (this is a default component on affected Windows versions with storage management capabilities)
-
Check for security update installationOpen Control Panel > Programs > View installed updates, or run 'wmic qfe list' / 'Get-HotFix' in PowerShell to list installed security updatesAffected if No security update addressing CVE-2025-33062 is installed; the specific KB patch for this vulnerability is absent
A system is affected if it runs any of the listed Windows versions (10 1607, 1809, 21h2, 22h2, 11 22h2, 23h2, 24h2, or Server 2016) with a build number below the fixed threshold and has the Storage Management Provider component present.
