Executive Summary

CVE-2025-11575 is a local privilege escalation vulnerability in the MongoDB Atlas SQL ODBC driver on Windows. It occurs due to incorrect default permissions during installation, which could allow a local user to gain higher privileges than intended. This issue affects versions from 1.0.0 through 2.0.0 and was fixed in version 2.0.1 by correcting the permissions for custom installation paths. [1]

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow a local user on a Windows system to escalate their privileges, potentially gaining administrative or higher-level access. This could lead to unauthorized actions, such as modifying system settings, accessing sensitive data, or installing malicious software. [1]

Detection Guidance

You can detect this vulnerability by checking the version of the MongoDB Atlas SQL ODBC driver installed on your Windows system. Versions from 1.0.0 through 2.0.0 are affected. Additionally, you can inspect the permissions of the installation directories to see if they are improperly set, which could allow privilege escalation. Specific commands are not provided in the resources. [1]

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, immediately update the MongoDB Atlas SQL ODBC driver to version 2.0.1 or later, which fixes the incorrect default permissions issue. This update corrects permissions for custom installation paths to prevent local privilege escalation. [1]
