AI description
CVE-2025-55332 is a security feature bypass vulnerability in Windows BitLocker. It allows an attacker with physical access to a device to circumvent BitLocker's normal protections and gain unauthorized access to encrypted volumes. This can be achieved by influencing BitLocker's boot or recovery decision logic. The vulnerability lies in the early boot workflow, where a bypass can allow an attacker to recover plaintext from an otherwise encrypted device if they can control the boot behavior or extract transient key material. To remediate this, Microsoft recommends applying the security updates for the affected Windows builds as soon as possible.
