CVE-2025-21333, CVE-2025-21334 and CVE-2025-21335 are EoP vulnerabilities in the Windows Hyper-V NT Kernel Integration Virtualization Service Provider (VSP). All three vulnerabilities were assigned a CVSSv3 score of 7.8 and rated important. An authenticated, local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to elevate privileges to SYSTEM. Two of the three vulnerabilities were unattributed, with CVE-2025-21333 being attributed to an Anonymous researcher.

According to Microsoft all three vulnerabilities were exploited in the wild as zero-days. No specific details about the in-the-wild exploitation were public at the time this blog post was released.

CVE-2025-21186, CVE-2025-21366 and CVE-2025-21395 are RCE vulnerabilities in Microsoft Access, a database management system. All three vulnerabilities were assigned a CVSSv3 score of 7.8 and rated important. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by convincing a target through social engineering to download and open a malicious file. Successful exploitation would grant an attacker arbitrary code execution privileges on the vulnerable system. This update “blocks potentially malicious extensions from being sent in an email.”

According to Microsoft, these three vulnerabilities were publicly disclosed prior to a patch being available (zero-days). They are attributed to Unpatched.ai, which uses artificial intelligence (AI) to “help find and analyze” vulnerabilities.

CVE-2025-21275 is an EoP vulnerability in the Microsoft Windows App Package Installer. It was assigned a CVSSv3 score of 7.8 and is rated important. A local, authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain SYSTEM privileges. These types of flaws are often associated with post-compromise activity, after an attacker has breached a system through other means.

According to Microsoft, this vulnerability was publicly disclosed prior to a patch being available. It is attributed to an Anonymous researcher.

CVE-2025-21297 and CVE-2025-21309 are critical RCE vulnerabilities affecting Windows Remote Desktop Services. Both of these vulnerabilities were assigned CVSSv3 scores of 8.1, however CVE-2025-21309 was assessed as “Exploitation More Likely” according to Microsoft’s Exploitability Index, while CVE-2025-21297 was assessed as “Exploitation Less Likely.”

According to Microsoft, successful exploitation of these flaws requires an attacker to connect to a system with the Remote Desktop Gateway role and trigger a race-condition that creates a use-after-free scenario which can be leveraged to execute arbitrary code.

CVE-2025-21298 is a RCE vulnerability in Microsoft Windows Object Linking and Embedding (OLE). It was assigned a CVSSv3 score of 9.8 and is rated critical. It has been assessed as “Exploitation More Likely.” An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted email to a target. Successful exploitation would lead to remote code execution on the target system if the target opens this email using a vulnerable version of Microsoft Outlook or if their software is able to preview the email through a preview pane.

Microsoft’s advisory for this vulnerability recommends configuring Microsoft Outlook to read email messages “in plain text format” instead of a rich format that will display other types of content, such as photos, animations or specialized fonts. To configure Outlook in this way, please refer to the following article, Read email messages in plain text.
