CVE-2025-7433 is a high-severity local privilege escalation vulnerability in Sophos Intercept X for Windows / Sophos Central Device Encryption affecting versions prior to 2025.1. The flaw is described as a deserialization of untrusted data issue (CWE-502) in the Central Device Encryption component/service. According to the provided content, the vulnerable service processes serialized input without sufficient validation or type checking, allowing a local attacker to supply a crafted serialized payload that is deserialized by the service. The content indicates this may occur during configuration handling, policy reloads/updates, or inter-process communication. Successful exploitation allows arbitrary code execution in the context of SYSTEM.
