CVE-2025-48002
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 · uneditedInteger overflow or wraparound in Windows Hyper-V allows an authorized attacker to disclose information over an adjacent network.
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 confidenceInteger overflow or wraparound vulnerability in Windows Hyper-V allows an authenticated attacker on an adjacent network to trigger the overflow, potentially disclosing sensitive information from the hypervisor or virtual machines.

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 numberRun 'winver' or 'systeminfo | findstr /B /C:"OS Name" /C:"OS Version"' to see the installed Windows version. Look for Windows 11 version 24h2 or Windows Server 2025.Affected if The installed version shows Windows 11 24h2 or Windows Server 2025 with a build number lower than 10.0.26100.4652.
-
Verify Hyper-V role is enabledRun 'Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V' in PowerShell (for Windows 11) or 'Get-WindowsFeature -Name Hyper-V' for Windows Server 2025 to check if the Hyper-V role is installed and enabled.Affected if The Hyper-V role is installed and enabled on the affected Windows version.
-
Confirm specific build versionRun 'winver' to see the exact build number displayed, or run 'reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v CurrentBuild' to retrieve the build number programmatically.Affected if The CurrentBuild value is less than 26100, or equals 26100 but the full version (like 10.0.26100.xxxx) is below 10.0.26100.4652.
-
Check adjacent network exposureReview network configuration to determine if the Hyper-V host is accessible from untrusted adjacent networks. Check firewall rules and network segmentation settings that govern access to the hypervisor.Affected if The Hyper-V host has accessible network interfaces on untrusted or insufficiently segmented networks.
You are affected if you are running Windows 11 24h2 or Windows Server 2025 with a build below 10.0.26100.4652, Hyper-V is enabled, and the host is reachable from adjacent networks.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped10.0.26100.4652
Apply Microsoft security updates for Windows Hyper-V when available. Restrict network access to Hyper-V hosts to trusted administrative segments to reduce adjacent network attack surface.
Windows 11 24h2 build 10.0.26100.4652 or later / Windows Server 2025 build 10.0.26100.4652 or later
- Open Settings > Windows Update and check for available updates
- Install any pending security updates for Windows 11 24h2 or Windows Server 2025
- Alternatively, run 'winver' to verify the current build version
- Ensure the installed version is 10.0.26100.4652 or higher
- If the update is not available yet, monitor Microsoft Update Catalog for KB5055523 or subsequent security updates
