Windows Recovery Environment BitLocker Bypass (KB5025175)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 174991

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Windows host may be affected by a security feature bypass vulnerability.

Description

The remote Windows host has not had the post-update scripts described in Microsoft KB5025175 executed. It may, therefore, be affected by a BitLocker security feature bypass vulnerability if the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) has not been update by an alternative method.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the absence of breadcrumbs placed on the system by the remediation script.

Solution

Run the update scripts as described in KB5025175
