CVE-2025-53152

24
FAUCET Score

CVE-2025-53152 is a high-severity use-after-free vulnerability in Microsoft's Desktop Windows Manager (DWM) that allows an authenticated local attacker to execute arbitrary code. With a CVSS score of 7.8, this flaw presents a significant risk due to its high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, requiring only low privileges and no user interaction. While not currently listed in CISA's KEV catalog and lacking public exploit code, its inclusion in a future Microsoft Patch Tuesday and limited media coverage indicate emerging awareness. Community discussion is minimal, suggesting it is not yet widely known or exploited in the wild.
