Adjacent-network code execution via improper certificate validation
Published Nov 12, 2025 · Updated Nov 12, 2025
Improper certificate validation in four Lenovo Windows clients allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code from the same logical network. The published record does not identify the connection or certificate-validation code that accepts untrusted network input. Exploitation requires access to the endpoint's logical network and a specific, undisclosed condition; successful attacks run code on the endpoint.

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.
