Microsoft Windows vulnerability
Microsoft Windows NTFS logs sensitive information that can be disclosed through physical access, potentially exposing heap memory contents.
Verdict
Today item — known-exploited.
An attacker with physical access to a Windows system can extract sensitive data from NTFS log files, leading to information disclosure. This vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.
01
Is it exploitable?
— the evidence, ranked above the scoreReported exploitation
5 independent public reports of in-the-wild exploitation are cataloged.Distinct reporting sources (vendor, incident response, government); open them for the underlying claims.
Exploited in the wild
Listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog (added 2025-03-11).
Probability (EPSS)
EPSS 0.01831 — modeled likelihood of exploitation activity.EPSS is a daily-changing model output — open the source for today's value.
Severity / affected
Affected: Microsoft, Windows. Confirm exact fixed builds in the vendor advisory.
Weakness (CWE)
Mapped to CWE-532 CWE-532.CWE assignment from the public NVD record; the weakness class drives how the flaw is exploited.

02
Who’s exploiting it?
— attribution turns risk into urgencyAttribution not established
No confirmed (advisory-backed) threat-actor attribution is established for this record. Absence of a named actor is not absence of compromise — see Coverage & confidence.
03
Why it matters
— the attack path, told twice: adversary, then board1
Front door — unauthenticated access narrative 1
Attacker
I gain physical access to a Windows device and examine NTFS log files stored on disk.
Business
Sensitive information resident in heap memory is exposed through inadequately protected logging mechanisms.
2
Keys to the kingdom — privilege/identity takeover narrative 2
Attacker
I extract portions of heap memory contents by parsing log data without requiring authentication.
Business
Confidential data such as credentials, encryption keys, or user information may be recovered from memory dumps in logs.
04
What to do
— defensible action- Remediate per the vendor advisory — confirm the fixed build for your version and verify exposure.1
Say it to the boardA vulnerability with this evidence profile is a defensible budget line, not a backlog ticket — fund the change against the proof above.
