CVE-2025-55682
MediumCVSS 6.1Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk43th percentile - higher than 43% of all known CVEs
Summary
Improper enforcement of behavioral workflow in Windows BitLocker allows an unauthorized attacker to bypass a security feature with a physical attack.
Risk Assessment
An attacker with physical access to the device can bypass BitLocker protection and access encrypted data.
Recommendation
Apply Windows security updates and restrict physical access to devices, enabling additional protections such as a pre-boot PIN.
