CVE-2025-21377 is a Windows spoofing vulnerability that can disclose a victim user's NTLMv2 authentication hash. The issue is described as stemming from external control of a file name or path and affects legacy web and scripting components used by Windows applications, including MSHTML, EdgeHTML, and related scripting platforms. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can craft a malicious file and induce limited user interaction with it, causing Windows to attempt NTLM authentication and leak the user's NTLMv2 hash to an attacker-controlled endpoint. Reported triggering conditions indicate that exploitation may occur through minimal interaction, such as selecting or inspecting the file, without requiring the victim to fully open or execute it.
