Sensitive information disclosure via undisclosed weak encryption
Published Jan 9, 2024 · Updated May 3, 2025
Inadequate encryption in Microsoft Windows LSASS allows remote authenticated users to disclose sensitive information after user interaction. Microsoft has not disclosed which LSASS cryptographic operation uses inadequate strength or what attacker-controlled input reaches it. Exploitation requires network access, low privileges, and user interaction; the documented consequence is disclosure only.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
