MITRE ATT&CK

1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation

The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Impact

Can lead to privilege escalation, data corruption, or bypassing of security checks depending on the context of the race. With a CVSS score of 7.8 (HIGH), this represents a significant risk.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker exploits a time-of-check-time-of-use (TOCTOU) window to modify a resource between when it's validated and when it's used.

This Week Schedule remediation this week. Why: HIGH severity (CVSS 7.0-8.9).

AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 16, 2026

Concurrent execution using shared resource with improper synchronization ('race condition') in Workspace Broker allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
v1 Mar 16, 2026 - 04:21 CVSS 7.8

RemediationAI

Use proper synchronization mechanisms (locks, mutexes, atomic operations). Implement file locking for filesystem operations. Avoid TOCTOU patterns.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

CVE-2025-49665 is a privilege escalation vulnerability in Workspace Broker that allows authorized users to exploit a race condition and gain elevated system privileges on affected systems. This impacts any organization using Workspace Broker where user access controls depend on proper privilege isolation, potentially allowing insider threats or compromised user accounts to achieve administrative access.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Apply vendor patch.

Attack Technique

Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.

Race conditions occur when multiple concurrent requests exploit the brief time gap between checking a condition and acting upon it (TOCTOU - Time of Check, Time of Use).
