CVE-2025-33063
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 confidenceThis is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the Windows Storage Management Provider, a Windows component responsible for managing storage devices and volumes. The flaw allows a local, authorized (authenticated) attacker to read memory beyond intended boundaries, potentially exposing sensitive information from kernel memory. This is a local information disclosure vulnerability with low confidentiality impact.

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 build versionOpen Command Prompt and run 'winver' or 'systeminfo | findstr "Build"' to obtain the full OS build number (for example, 19045.5965)Affected if The build number is lower than the fixed version for your specific Windows release as listed in the CVE affected versions
-
Identify exact Windows releaseRun 'winver' to determine if you are on Windows 10 1809, 21h2, 22h2; Windows 11 22h2, 23h2, 24h2; Windows Server 2016 or Windows Server 2019Affected if Your Windows release matches any of the affected products listed in the CVE
-
Compare against fixed version thresholdsConsult the CVE affected versions list and compare: Windows 10 1809 must be >= 10.0.17763.7434, 21h2 >= 10.0.19044.5965, 22h2 >= 10.0.19045.5965; Windows 11 22h2 >= 10.0.22621.5472, 23h2 >= 10.0.22631.5472, 24h2 >= 10.0.26100.4270; Server 2016 >= 10.0.14393.8148; Server 2019 >= 10.0.17763.7434Affected if Your installed version is less than the required fixed version for your Windows release
-
Confirm Storage Management Provider is presentThe Windows Storage Management Provider is a built-in Windows component for storage device management; verify it exists by checking for the 'StorageManagement' service or module in PowerShell with 'Get-Command *StorageManagement*' or via services.mscAffected if The Storage Management Provider component is present on the system and the OS version is vulnerable
A system is affected if it runs any Windows 10, Windows 11, or Windows Server version with a build number lower than the threshold specified for that release in the CVE, and the Storage Management Provider component is present.

- Identify the current Windows version and build by running 'winver' or 'systeminfo | findstr /B /C:"OS Name" /C:"OS Version"'
- Open Settings > Windows Update (or WSUS for enterprise environments)
- Check for and install all pending Windows security updates
- Verify the update was applied by checking the build number matches or exceeds the fixed version for your Windows release
- Restart the system if prompted to complete the installation
