CVE-2025-26637 is a security feature bypass in Microsoft Windows BitLocker. The issue is described as a protection mechanism failure that allows an unauthorized attacker with physical access to bypass a BitLocker security control. Available reporting associates the weakness with pre-boot or recovery scenarios in which an attacker can leverage Windows Setup or the Windows Recovery Environment to circumvent expected device protection guarantees, particularly in deployments that rely on TPM-only unlock and do not fully harden boot paths and platform protections. The vulnerability does not describe a traditional memory corruption or remote code execution flaw; instead, it concerns failure of the protection boundary intended to prevent unauthorized offline access or tampering.
