CVE-2025-6232

Status: AnalyzedHigh (8.5)—

An improper validation vulnerability was reported in Lenovo Vantage that under certain conditions could allow a local attacker to execute code with elevated permissions by modifying specific registry locations.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

🎯 ATT&CK techniques

How this vulnerability is exploited and what the attacker gains, in MITRE ATT&CK terms.

AV:L sin UI:R → T1068. Modificación de registro para ejecutar código con permisos elevados (escalada local). T1059 por ejecución de código con privilegios de administrador; T1548 por abuso de mecanismo de elevación de privilegios.

Inferred by our analysis agent from the official description, CVSS vector and CWE, and checked by a supervisor. May contain errors.
