What it is

The record does not classify the weakness yet; the description below says what the reporter found.

How it is reached

An attacker can exploit it with physical access to the device, with an ordinary user account, and nobody has to click anything.

What an attacker gains

A successful attack can read the data it protects and change data or behaviour.

Is it being exploited?

There is no public report of exploitation yet.

What to do

  1. Apply the update for your edition of Microsoft Windows 10. Fixed builds: Windows 10 Version 1809: 10.0.17763.9487; Windows 10 Version 21H2: 10.0.19044.7846; Windows 10 Version 22H2: 10.0.19045.7846. Other affected products have their own fixed versions on this page.

Description from NVD

Improper access control in Windows BitLocker allows an authorized attacker to bypass a security feature with a physical attack.

What this means for your architecture.

A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.

Components it touches

  • Microsoft Windows 10. Start from where it runs and what it is connected to.

Trust boundaries in play

  • Host boundary. The attacker needs a foothold on the machine first; the flaw turns a small foothold into a bigger one.

Questions to answer about your own systems

  • Where does Microsoft Windows 10 run in your systems, and at which version?
  • Which of those devices sit where outsiders can touch them?
  • What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
