Microsoft Patches Windows Spoofing Flaws Including NTLM Hash Disclosure Bug
Microsoft disclosed and patched three Windows spoofing vulnerabilities affecting the Windows Security App, Windows Storage, and NTLM authentication components. The issues were tracked as CVE-2025-47956, CVE-2025-49760, and CVE-2025-24054, with the last specifically described as an NTLM Hash Disclosure Spoofing Vulnerability, raising the risk of credential exposure through spoofing-related attack paths.
The advisories were published through Microsoft's Security Update Guide and indicate that multiple core Windows components required security fixes for spoofing weaknesses. For defenders, the disclosures highlight the need to prioritize Microsoft security updates, review systems that rely on NTLM authentication, and assess whether exposed Windows endpoints or storage-related workflows could be abused for impersonation, misleading trust signals, or credential theft.
