How the CVE Works:
CVE-2025-48810 exploits a flaw in Windows Secure Kernel Mode where processor optimization inadvertently removes or modifies security-critical code. This allows an authenticated attacker to bypass kernel-mode protections and access sensitive information locally. The vulnerability stems from improper handling of speculative execution paths, leading to unintended data leakage through side-channel attacks.
DailyCVE Form:

}
How Exploit:
- Local authenticated attacker triggers speculative execution flaw.
- Side-channel analysis extracts kernel memory data.
Protection from this CVE:
- Disable vulnerable CPU optimizations.
- Apply Microsoft patch when released.
Impact:
- Unauthorized kernel memory read access.
- Potential privilege escalation.
