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
Gigabyte Control Center developed by GIGABYTE has an Arbitrary File Write vulnerability. When the pairing feature is enabled, unauthenticated remote attackers can write arbitrary files to any location on the underlying operating system, leading to arbitrary code execution or privilege escalation.

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

Gigabyte Control Center contains an arbitrary file write vulnerability in its pairing feature. When pairing is enabled, unauthenticated remote attackers can write files to any location on the underlying operating system without authentication, enabling arbitrary code execution or privilege escalation.

MitigationDisable the pairing feature in Gigabyte Control Center until an official patch is available from GIGABYTE. If exposure to untrusted networks exists, network segmentation should be applied to limit attack surface.

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. Identify Gigabyte Control Center installation
    Locate Gigabyte Control Center in the system - typically found in Program Files or Program Files (x86) with folder name 'Gigabyte Control Center' or similar. Check for the presence of GC.exe or similar executable.
    Affected if Gigabyte Control Center is installed on the system
  2. Determine installed version
    Right-click the main executable (often named GC.exe, Gcc.exe, or similar) and select Properties, then check the Details tab for the File Version or Product Version. Alternatively, check Add/Remove Programs for the installed version.
    Affected if The installed version is lower than 25.12.10.01
  3. Locate pairing feature configuration
    Look for configuration files, settings, or service options related to 'pairing' within the Gigabyte Control Center installation directory or Windows Services panel. The pairing feature may appear as a service, setting, or configuration option.
    Affected if Unable to locate or access pairing feature settings
  4. Check if pairing is enabled
    Examine the pairing feature configuration - it may be listed as enabled/disabled in a settings menu, configuration file, or service status. Check Windows Services if the pairing feature runs as a service.
    Affected if Pairing feature is currently enabled

System is affected if Gigabyte Control Center version is below 25.12.10.01 AND the pairing feature is enabled, allowing unauthenticated remote file write attacks

Upgrade available Upgrade to 25.12.10.01 or later
Fixed in 25.12.10.01
Interim mitigation

Disable the pairing feature in Gigabyte Control Center until an official patch is available from GIGABYTE. If exposure to untrusted networks exists, network segmentation should be applied to limit attack surface.

Recommended fix High confidence

25.12.10.01 or later

  1. 1. Back up the current Gigabyte Control Center configuration and any critical data
  2. 2. Verify the current installed version of Gigabyte Control Center (help/about section)
  3. 3. Download Gigabyte Control Center version 25.12.10.01 or later from the official GIGABYTE support website (www.gigabyte.com)
  4. 4. Disconnect the system from untrusted networks if the pairing feature is currently enabled as a precaution before upgrading
  5. 5. Install the updated Gigabyte Control Center version 25.12.10.01 or later
  6. 6. Verify the installation completed successfully and the new version is running
  7. 7. After upgrade, ensure the pairing feature is disabled if not required, or verify it is configured with appropriate network access controls
