The Indian govt has raised a critical warning for businesses<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

The Indian government has issued a critical warning for businesses in the country about a major Windows kernel vulnerability that can be exploited to target their data. The warning from the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team or CERT-In this week highlights the Windows versions, including the server platforms that can be targeted by hackers to exploit the issues that can cause major service disruption.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Windows Business Alert: What The Warning Says<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The security bulletin dated November 18, 2025 from CERT-In comes with a high severity rating and explains the issue and how it affects a wide range of Windows versions. \u201cThis vulnerability in Microsoft Windows kernel exists due to concurrent execution using shared resources with improper synchronization (race condition). An attacker with local, low-privilege access can trigger a race condition in the kernel component by forcing multiple threads to access a shared resource concurrently without proper locking or synchronization.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What this alert says is that attackers can locally gain access to the device and use the vulnerability to gather data without needing to break any security measure. These tricks can be used to manipulate the data or cause a service disruption which can be costly for businesses. <\/span><\/p>\n

The agency also points out that anybody using the Windows operating system can be targeted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
