About Elevation of Privilege - Windows Update Service (CVE-2025-48799) vulnerability

About Elevation of Privilege – Windows Update Service (CVE-2025-48799) vulnerability. This vulnerability is from the July Microsoft Patch Tuesday. Improper link resolution before file access (‘link following’) in the Windows Update Service allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges to “NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM”.

🛠 An exploit for this vulnerability was published by researcher Filip Dragović (Wh04m1001) on July 8, the day of MSPT. In the exploit description, he states that the vulnerability affects Windows 10/11 systems with at least two hard drives. If the installation location for new apps is changed to the secondary drive (using Storage Sense), then during the installation of a new app, the wuauserv service will arbitrarily delete folders without checking for symbolic links, leading to to LPE.

🎞 In the demonstration video, Filip Dragović runs the EXE file and gets an administrator console.

👾 No signs of exploitation in the wild yet.
