CVE-2025-27464 CRITICAL Act Now

Local privilege escalation in Xen's Windows PV (paravirtualized) drivers arises because the XenBus interface (CVE-2025-27464) is exposed to userspace with no security descriptor, leaving it fully accessible to any unprivileged user on a Windows guest. Because XenBus mediates communication between the guest and the hypervisor's device backend, an unprivileged local user can abuse this open interface to gain elevated privileges and potentially impact the guest and the virtualization layer. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV; it is documented in Xen Security Advisory XSA-468.

CVE-2025-27463 CRITICAL Act Now

Local privilege escalation in Xen's Windows PV (paravirtualized) drivers arises because the XenIface interface is exposed to userspace with no security descriptor, leaving it fully accessible to unprivileged users. Any low-privileged local user on an affected Windows guest can interact with this facility to gain elevated control over the system. This is one of three sibling issues (alongside CVE-2025-27462 XenCons and CVE-2025-27464 XenBus) disclosed in Xen Security Advisory XSA-468; no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.

CVE-2025-27462 CRITICAL Act Now

Local privilege escalation in the Xen Windows PV Drivers (the XenCons paravirtualized console interface) lets any unprivileged user of a Windows guest reach a device object that ships with no security descriptor, so its facilities are fully accessible to non-administrators. Successful abuse can yield full compromise of the guest with integrity, confidentiality and availability impact, and the vendor scores it critical (CVSS 4.0 base 9.4) with subsequent-system impact. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not on CISA KEV. This is one of three related XSA-468 issues (XenCons/CVE-2025-27462, XenIface/CVE-2025-27463, XenBus/CVE-2025-27464).
