CVE-2025-58729
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 validation of specified type of input in Windows Local Session Manager (LSM) allows an authorized attacker to deny service over a 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 confidenceWindows Local Session Manager (LSM) improper input validation allows an authenticated attacker to send specially crafted network requests that cause the service to fail, resulting in denial of service. The vulnerability stems from insufficient validation of a specific input type within the LSM component that handles local session management on Windows systems.

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 versionRun 'winver' or 'systeminfo' and note the OS Build number displayed (e.g., 10.0.19045.6456 for Windows 10 22h2)Affected if The installed build number is lower than the threshold for your Windows version: 1507 < 10.0.10240.21161, 1607 < 10.0.14393.8519, 1809 < 10.0.17763.7919, 21h2 < 10.0.19044.6456, 22h2 < 10.0.19045.6456, 11_22h2 < 10.0.22621.6060, 11_23h2 < 10.0.22631.6060, 11_24h2 < 10.0.26100.6899
-
Identify Windows version branchRun 'winver' to determine if you are on Windows 10 1507, 1607, 1809, 21h2, 22h2 or Windows 11 22h2, 23h2, 24h2Affected if The system runs any of the affected Windows versions listed and the build is below the corresponding threshold
-
Verify LSM service presenceOpen Services console (services.msc) and locate 'Local Session Manager' service or run 'sc query' to enumerate services containing 'LSM' in the nameAffected if The Local Session Manager service exists on the system (standard component for all affected Windows versions)
-
Confirm network exposure of management interfacesReview Windows Firewall rules or run 'netsh advfirewall firewall show rule name=all' to identify any rules allowing remote access to session management featuresAffected if Unrestricted inbound rules exist that would allow remote network requests to reach LSM-related interfaces
The environment is affected if running any Windows 10 or Windows 11 version within the ranges listed and the installed build number falls below the specified threshold, with LSM accessible over the network.

- 1. Identify the current Windows version and build by running 'winver' or 'systeminfo' in Command Prompt
- 2. Determine which affected version category applies to your system (Windows 10 1507, 1607, 1809, 21h2, 22h2, or Windows 11 22h2, 23h2, 24h2)
- 3. Apply the appropriate Windows Security Update that addresses CVE-2025-58729
- 4. Verify the update was successful by checking the Windows version matches or exceeds the fixed build number for your version
- 5. Restart the system if prompted to complete the update installation
