Two of the zero-days, CVE-2025-32701 and CVE-2025-32706, are defects in the Windows Common Log File Driver System (CLFS), adding to an \u201congoing dynasty where exploitation typically leads to elevation of privilege to SYSTEM,\u201d Barnett said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cisa.gov\/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog?search_api_fulltext=&amp;field_date_added_wrapper=all&amp;field_cve=&amp;sort_by=field_date_added&amp;items_per_page=20&amp;url=\">added all five<\/a> to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) list on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Mike Walters, president and co-founder of Action1, said attackers can exploit a pair of the new zero-days in CLFS to gain \u201cfull control to run arbitrary code, install malware, modify data or disable security protections. With low complexity and minimal privileges needed, these flaws pose a serious risk, especially given the confirmed in-the-wild exploitation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Barnett credited Microsoft\u2019s Threat Intelligence Center for putting more effort into detecting and rooting out CLFS exploitation. \u201cOf course, since Microsoft is aware of exploitation in the wild, we know that someone else got there first, and there\u2019s no reason to suspect that threat actors will stop looking for ways to abuse CLFS any time soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zero-day exploits of CVE-2025-32701 and CVE-2025-32706 were likely part of post-compromise activity that was either targeted espionage or financially motivated activities, such as ransomware deployment, according to Satnam Narang, senior staff research engineer at Tenable.<\/p>\n<p>In April, Microsoft said a ransomware group it tracks as <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/microsoft-patch-tuesday-april-2025\/\">Storm-2460 exploited a zero-day in the CLFS<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/nvd.nist.gov\/vuln\/detail\/CVE-2025-29824\">CVE-2025-29824<\/a>, against organizations in the IT and real estate sectors in the United States, the financial sector in Venezuela, a Spanish software company and the retail sector in Saudi Arabia.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>One of the new zero-days, a use-after-free defect affecting Windows Desktop Window Manager (DWM), CVE-2025-30400, marks a slow and steady uptick in zero-day attacks targeting elevation of privilege vulnerabilities in the DWM Core Library for Windows, according to Narang.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cPrior to CVE-2025-30400, only two DWM elevation of privilege bugs were exploited as zero days \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/nvd.nist.gov\/vuln\/detail\/cve-2024-30051\">CVE-2024-30051<\/a> in 2024 and <a href=\"https:\/\/nvd.nist.gov\/vuln\/detail\/cve-2023-36033\">CVE-2023-36033<\/a> in 2023,\u201d Narang said in an email.<\/p>\n<p>The remaining zero-days in this month\u2019s security update include: an elevation of privilege flaw in the Windows Ancillary Function Driver for Windows Sockets API (WinSock), CVE-2025-32709; and a scripting memory corruption defect in Microsoft Scripting Engine, CVE-2025-30397.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Although CVE-2025-30397 is a zero-day remote code execution vulnerability, broad exploitation is unlikely because the pre-requisites for exploitation are complicated, researchers said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile the attack requires user interaction and carries high complexity, it remains a viable avenue for advanced attackers, including nation-state actors, who are capable of developing reliable exploits,\u201d said Alex Vovk, CEO and co-founder of Action1. \u201cActive exploitation has already been observed in the wild, highlighting the urgency of a response.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The batch of CVE disclosures and patches in Microsoft\u2019s monthly security update include five critical vulnerabilities and 50 high-severity defects. The four most-critical software defects, according to initial CVSS scores, include CVE-2025-29813, CVE-2025-29827, CVE-2025-29972 and CVE-2025-30387.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Eighteen of the vulnerabilities in this month\u2019s security update affect Microsoft Office and standalone Office products. All of the software defects affecting Microsoft Office are high-severity, and Microsoft designated three of those vulnerabilities \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/msrc.microsoft.com\/update-guide\/en-US\/vulnerability\/CVE-2025-29792\">CVE-2025-29792<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/msrc.microsoft.com\/update-guide\/en-US\/vulnerability\/CVE-2025-29793\">CVE-2025-29793<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/msrc.microsoft.com\/update-guide\/en-US\/vulnerability\/CVE-2025-29794\">CVE-2025-29794<\/a> \u2014 as \u201cmore likely\u201d to be exploited.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Microsoft said eight of the vulnerabilities it patched this month are \u201cmore likely\u201d to be exploited. This set of more concerning flaws includes a pair of high-severity software defects \u2014 CVE-2025-29976 and CVE-2025-30382 \u2014 that could allow for privilege escalation and remote code execution, respectively, in Microsoft SharePoint Server.<\/p>\n<p>The full list of vulnerabilities addressed this month is available in <a href=\"https:\/\/msrc.microsoft.com\/update-guide\/releaseNote\/2025-May\">Microsoft\u2019s Security Response Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\" readability=\"3.6776180698152\">\n<div class=\"author-card\" readability=\"14\">\n<div class=\"author-card__avatar\">\n<figure class=\"author-card__image-wrap\"> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-card__image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/microsofts-patch-tuesday-closes-72-vulnerabilities-including-5-zero-days-1.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Matt Kapko\"> <\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><h4 class=\"author-card__name\">Written by Matt Kapko<\/h4>\n<p> Matt Kapko is a reporter at CyberScoop.
