CVE-2025-33065
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 Windows Storage Management Provider that allows a local, authorized attacker to read sensitive information from memory beyond 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.
-
Determine Windows version and build numberRun 'winver' or 'systeminfo | findstr /B /C:"OS Name" /C:"OS Version"' to obtain the exact Windows version and build numberAffected if The build number is lower than the fixed version for your Windows release (e.g., below 10.0.19045.5965 for Windows 10 22h2)
-
Identify Windows release versionRun 'winver' to confirm whether you are on Windows 10 1507, 1607, 1809, 21h2, 22h2, or Windows 11 22h2, 23h2, or 24h2Affected if You are running any of the listed Windows 10 or Windows 11 releases and your specific build falls below the corresponding fixed version
-
Confirm Storage Management Provider component is presentCheck for the presence of the Storage Management Provider by running 'Get-Process' or looking for 'storagemgmt' related services via 'Get-Service | Where-Object {$_.Name -like "*Storage*"}'Affected if The Storage Management Provider component is installed on the system (which is default on affected Windows versions)
-
Compare installed build to CVE thresholdRun 'ver' command at command prompt or check the build via 'winver' and compare numerically against the affected version ranges listed in the CVEAffected if Your installed build number is less than the threshold for your specific Windows release as specified in the affected products list
You are affected if your Windows version and build number fall within any of the affected ranges listed and the Storage Management Provider component is present on your system.

Apply the Microsoft security update for CVE-2025-33065 once released. Prioritize patching systems with direct access to sensitive data or where local attacker access is plausible.
Upgrade to the specific cumulative update containing the fix: Windows 10 1507 build 10.0.10240.21034, Windows 10 1607 build 10.0.14393.8148, Windows 10 1809 build 10.0.17763.7434, Windows 10 21h2 build 10.0.19044.5965, Windows 10 22h2 build 10.0.19045.5965, Windows 11 22h2 build 10.0.22621.5472, Win
- Open Windows Settings and navigate to Windows Update
- Check for updates and install all available cumulative updates
- Verify the installed version matches or exceeds the fixed build number for your Windows version: Windows 10 1507 should be 10.0.10240.21034 or higher; Windows 10 1607 should be 10.0.14393.8148 or higher; Windows 10 1809 should be 10.0.17763.7434 or higher; Windows 10 21h2 should be 10.0.19044.5965 or higher; Windows 10 22h2 should be 10.0.19045.5965 or higher; Windows 11 22h2 should be 10.0.22621.
