physical access vulnerability

The tag physical access vulnerability covers threats that require an attacker to have direct physical contact with a device. A key example discussed is CVE-2025-24988, an out-of-bounds read flaw in the Windows USB Video Class System Driver that enables privilege escalation through a physical attack. This highlights how even standard system components like USB drivers can become security risks when physical access is possible. Discussions focus on understanding such vulnerabilities, their exploitation vectors, and the importance of securing hardware interfaces to prevent unauthorized physical access from leading to system compromise.
