Published: April 11, 2026
Official Description
Various Paragon Software products contain an arbitrary kernel memory mapping vulnerability within biontdrv.sys that is caused by a failure to properly validate the length of user supplied data, which can allow an attacker to perform privilege escalation exploits.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2025-0285 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
CISA has added CVE-2025-0285 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, confirming active exploitation in the wild. U.S. federal agencies are required to patch this within the mandated timeframe, and all organizations should treat remediation as urgent.
