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 · unedited
Concurrent execution using shared resource with improper synchronization ('race condition') in Inbox COM Objects allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code 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 confidence

A race condition vulnerability exists in Inbox COM Objects due to improper synchronization when accessing shared resources. An attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code locally on the affected system by triggering the race condition.

MitigationImplement proper synchronization primitives (mutexes, critical sections, or similar) around all shared resource accesses in the Inbox COM Objects to serialize concurrent access patterns.

Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Check Windows 10 1507 version
    Run 'winver' or 'systeminfo | findstr /B /C:"OS Version"' and compare the build number to 10.0.10240.21161
    Affected if Version is less than 10.0.10240.21161
  2. Check Windows 10 1607 version
    Run 'winver' or 'systeminfo | findstr /B /C:"OS Version"' and compare the build number to 10.0.14393.8519
    Affected if Version is less than 10.0.14393.8519
  3. Check Windows 10 1809 version
    Run 'winver' or 'systeminfo | findstr /B /C:"OS Version"' and compare the build number to 10.0.17763.7919
    Affected if Version is less than 10.0.17763.7919
  4. Check Windows 10 21h2 version
    Run 'winver' or 'systeminfo | findstr /B /C:"OS Version"' and compare the build number to 10.0.19044.6456
    Affected if Version is less than 10.0.19044.6456
  5. Check Windows 10 22h2 version
    Run 'winver' or 'systeminfo | findstr /B /C:"OS Version"' and compare the build number to 10.0.19045.6456
    Affected if Version is less than 10.0.19045.6456
  6. Check Windows 11 version
    Run 'winver' or 'systeminfo | findstr /B /C:"OS Version"' to identify the build. For 22h2 compare to 10.0.22621.6060, for 23h2 compare to 10.0.22631.6060, for 24h2 compare to 10.0.26100.6899
    Affected if Windows 11 22h2 is <= 10.0.22621.6060, 23h2 is <= 10.0.22631.6060, or 24h2 is < 10.0.26100.6899

Install the latest Windows cumulative update for your specific Windows version (10.0.10240.21161+ for Win10 1507, 10.0.14393.8519+ for Win10 1607, 10.0.17763.7919+ for Win10 1809, 10.0.19044.6456+ for Win10 21h2, 10.0.19045.6456+ for Win10 22h2, 10.0.22621.6061+ for Win11 22h2, 10.0.22631.6061+ for

  1. Open Windows Settings on the affected Windows system
  2. Navigate to Update & Security > Windows Update
  3. Click 'Check for updates' to download and install the latest Windows security updates
  4. Ensure the update containing the fix for CVE-2025-59282 is installed - this is typically part of the monthly cumulative update
  5. Restart the system if prompted to complete the installation
  6. Verify the installed OS version matches or exceeds the fixed build number for your Windows version using 'winver' command
Caveat Standard Windows update risks apply - ensure backups and compatibility testing for critical systems before deployment
