Microsoft Windows NTFS Information Disclosure

Published Updated By the CyberSecBulletin desk

CVE-2025-24984 is a medium-severity insertion of sensitive information into log file vulnerability in Windows 10 Version 1507 from Microsoft, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.6 out of 10. It can be exploited with physical access to the device by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 10.0.10240.20947 as the first without the flaw, so updating Windows 10 Version 1507 to that release or later removes the exposure. CISA added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue on March 11, 2025, which means attacks have been observed in the wild.

Patch now

Attackers are already exploiting this vulnerability, according to CISA.

What to do

  1. Update Windows 10 Version 1507 to 10.0.10240.20947 or a later version.

Official description

Insertion of sensitive information into log file in Windows NTFS allows an unauthorized attacker to disclose information with a physical attack.

Source: the CVE record as published by its numbering authority, via NVD and CVE.org.

The underlying weakness: Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File

The product writes sensitive information to a log file.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • Consider seriously the sensitivity of the information written into log files. Do not write secrets into the log files.
  • Remove debug log files before deploying the application into production.
  • Protect log files against unauthorized read/write.
