Quick clarification before I start the full article (I want to be accurate):
I tried to look up CVE-2025-50153 at the Microsoft Security Update Guide URL you provided, but the MSRC page requires JavaScript and I couldn't extract a plain-text advisory from that exact link.
I also couldn't find public coverage or an NVD entry for CVE-2025-50153. However, multiple reputable sources (NVD, BleepingComputer, Balbix and others) document a Desktop Window Manager (DWM) use‑after‑free elevation‑of‑privilege that was widely reported in May 2025 under CVE-2025-30400. That 30400 advisory describes a local DWM UAF that lets an authorized/local attacker escalate to SYSTEM. (nvd.nist.gov, bleepingcomputer.com, balbix.com)
Which would you like me to do?
- Option A — Write the requested in‑depth feature article about CVE-2025-50153 exactly as you gave it. (I’ll need either a copy of Microsoft’s advisory text for that CVE or any other authoritative sources you have, because I can’t find public references to 50153.)
- Option B — Proceed with a technical, sourced, 2,000+ word feature article about the DWM use‑after‑free privilege escalation that was published/patched in May 2025 (commonly tracked as CVE‑2025‑30400). I’ll cite Microsoft/NVD coverage plus independent analysis and news posts, provide timeline, exploitation analysis, detection/IOCs, mitigation/patching guidance, and recommendations for defenders. (This is likely what you meant; I can start immediately.)
- Target audience (security engineers, sysadmins, managers, general readers).
- Do you want code-level details or PoC-level explanation (note: I will not provide exploit code, but I can describe the exploitation technique conceptually)?
- Any formatting preferences (headings, diagrams, checklist, TL;DR summary at top)?
