DescriptionCVE.org

Out-of-bounds read in Windows RDP allows an unauthorized attacker to disclose information over a network.

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds read in the Windows Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) stack enables unauthenticated network attackers to disclose high-confidentiality memory contents from affected Windows systems, contingent on user interaction during an RDP session. The flaw (CWE-125) spans Windows 10 builds 1607 through 22H2, Windows 11 24H2 through 26H1, and Windows Server 2012 through 2025. No active exploitation is confirmed by CISA KEV, SSVC rates it non-automatable with partial technical impact, and EPSS sits at 0.67% (48th percentile), indicating moderate-to-low near-term exploitation probability despite the high confidentiality impact in the CVSS score.

Technical ContextAI

Windows Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a proprietary Microsoft protocol operating primarily over TCP/UDP port 3389, enabling remote graphical desktop sessions. CWE-125 (Out-of-Bounds Read) identifies the root cause class: the RDP implementation reads beyond the bounds of an allocated memory buffer when processing network-supplied data structures, exposing adjacent memory to the network peer. This class of flaw typically results from missing or insufficient length validation when parsing variable-length RDP PDUs or channel data. CPE strings confirm the vulnerable component is the Microsoft Windows RDP implementation across a wide build range, from Windows Server 2012 (kernel 6.2.9200.x) through Windows 11 26H1 (10.0.28000.x) and Windows Server 2025 (10.0.26100.x), encompassing both full and Server Core installations.

RemediationAI

Apply vendor-released patches from Microsoft targeting the following minimum fixed builds: Windows Server 2012 and Server Core to 6.2.9200.26226 or later; Windows 10 1607 and Windows Server 2016 and Server Core to 10.0.14393.9339 or later; Windows 10 1809, Windows Server 2019, and Server Core to 10.0.17763.9020 or later; Windows 10 21H2 to 10.0.19044.7548 or later; Windows 10 22H2 to 10.0.19045.7548 or later; Windows 11 24H2 to 10.0.26100.8875 or later; Windows 11 25H2 to 10.0.26200.8875 or later; Windows 11 26H1 to 10.0.28000.2269 or later; Windows Server 2022 to 10.0.20348.5386 or later; Windows Server 2025 and Server Core to 10.0.26100.33158 or later. Full patch details are at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-54126. Where patching cannot be applied immediately, restrict inbound RDP access (TCP/UDP 3389) to trusted network segments via host-based or perimeter firewall rules - this reduces the network attack surface but does not eliminate the vulnerability if RDP exposure is required. Enforcing Network Level Authentication (NLA) adds a pre-authentication step but, given PR:N in the CVSS vector, should not be assumed to fully mitigate the flaw; treat NLA as a defense-in-depth measure only.
