CVE-2025-7676 — DLL hijacking of all PE32 executables when run on Windows for ARM64 CPU architecture
DLL hijacking of all PE32 executables when run on Windows for ARM64 CPU architecture. This allows an attacker to execute code, if the attacker can plant a DLL in the same directory as the executable. Vulnerable versions of Windows 11 for ARM attempt to load Base DLLs that would ordinarily not be loaded from the application directory. Fixed in release 24H2, but present in all earlier versions of Windows 11 for ARM CPUs.

Matched remediation archetype
Supply-chain, dependency, build, and update integrity
This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.
Check exposure
- Trace affected packages, source archives, build actions, plugins, installers, and updates from declared source to deployed artifact.
- Confirm provenance, signatures or digests, namespace ownership, lockfile resolution, registry configuration, and build-runner trust boundaries.
- Inventory direct, transitive, vendored, generated, and bundled copies across releases and distribution channels.
Remediate safely
- Move to a maintained trusted artifact or remove the dependency; pin immutable identities and verify provenance and integrity before use.
- Regenerate lockfiles and artifacts in a clean isolated build, minimize build credentials and network access, and produce an updated software bill of materials.
- Require reviewed update policy, protected publishing, and reproducible or independently attestable builds where supported.
