CVE-2025-32706 is a local elevation-of-privilege vulnerability in the Windows Common Log File System (CLFS) driver, including the clfs.sys component. The flaw is caused by improper input validation when processing attacker-controlled CLFS log data. An authorized local attacker can exploit the weakness by crafting or modifying CLFS log files so that the driver mishandles the supplied input, resulting in privilege escalation. Microsoft reported the vulnerability as actively exploited in the wild at the time of disclosure, and exploitation has been associated with post-compromise activity in which attackers use the bug to obtain SYSTEM-level execution on affected Windows systems.
