  • Type: Elevation of Privilege (EoP)
  • Component: Win32K (GRFX)

  • Source: Microsoft - MSRC CVE-2025-32712 page

Key Points​

  • This vulnerability affects the Windows kernel component responsible for graphics (Win32k, specifically the GRFX/Graphics part).
  • Exploiting a use-after-free vulnerability means that an attacker could cause the system to use memory after it has been freed, which can be abused to execute arbitrary code or escalate privileges.
  • A patch or mitigation is likely available through Windows Update or mentioned in the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) advisory.

Recommended Actions​

  • Apply the latest Windows security updates that address this CVE as soon as possible.
  • Monitor Microsoft’s official guidance for updates, workarounds, or additional mitigations.
