CVE-2025-2769

SYSTEM code execution via unsecured OpenSSL configuration

Published Apr 23, 2025 · Updated Apr 23, 2025

Uncontrolled search path handling in Bdrive NetDrive 3.17.960 allows local users to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges. The privileged process searches an unsecured location for its OpenSSL configuration and consumes a file that local users can control. Low-privileged code execution on the Windows host is required, after which the attacker gains SYSTEM-level code execution.
