How the CVE Works
CVE-2025-49665 is a race condition vulnerability in Workspace Broker where improper synchronization of shared resources enables local privilege escalation. An authorized attacker can exploit concurrent execution flaws to manipulate system processes, gaining elevated privileges. The lack of proper locking mechanisms allows malicious threads to interfere with critical operations, leading to unauthorized access.
