Summary

CVE-2025-48813 is a medium-severity Use of a Key Past its Expiration Date (CWE-324) vulnerability in Microsoft Windows 10 1809. Its CVSS base score is 6.3 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Brute Force (T1110); ranked at the 14th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to IA-5 (Authenticator Management) and SC-12 (Cryptographic Key Establishment and Management) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SC-12 requires establishing and managing cryptographic keys including distribution, storage, access and destruction, which directly enforces expiration and rotation policies.

IA-5 requires managing authenticators (including passwords and tokens) with verification, distribution and revocation steps that cover expiration enforcement.

Lifecycle management of cryptographic assets directly includes enforcing key expiration and rotation.

prevents

Use-of-cryptography control explicitly covers key lifecycle management including expiration and rotation.

prevents

Authentication information policy should mandate key rotation and expiry, directly preventing use of expired keys.

mitigates

Change-management processes can trigger key rotation, but do not inherently enforce cryptographic expiry rules.

degrades

Secure authentication requires cryptographic keys to be replaced before expiry, mitigating the weakness.
