CRITICAL 9.8

DescriptionCVE.org

Use of uninitialized resource in Windows RDP allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop (RDP) allows an unauthorized network attacker to run arbitrary code by triggering the use of an uninitialized resource (CWE-908). All currently supported Windows client and server releases are affected, from Windows 10 1607 and Windows Server 2012 through Windows 11 26H1 and Windows Server 2025. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 9.8 with a network, no-privileges, no-interaction vector; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV.

Technical ContextAI

The flaw is classified as CWE-908 (Use of Uninitialized Resource) in the Windows Remote Desktop Protocol stack, the service that exposes interactive desktop sessions over TCP/UDP 3389. Uninitialized-resource bugs arise when code reads or acts on a memory buffer, structure field, or handle before it has been assigned a defined value; the residual contents can leak prior data or be steered by an attacker to corrupt control flow. Per the supplied CPE data, the defect resides in the RDP components shipped across the Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server 2012-2025 product lines, indicating shared code in the core RDP server/client stack rather than a single edition-specific module.

RemediationAI

Patch available per vendor advisory - apply the Microsoft security update for your specific Windows edition as documented at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-56190, which lists the per-build KB packages (exact fixed versions were not provided in this dataset and should be taken from the advisory rather than assumed). Until patched, reduce exposure by restricting RDP (TCP/UDP 3389) at the network perimeter and internal firewall so it is not reachable from untrusted networks, placing RDP behind a VPN or Remote Desktop Gateway, and enforcing Network Level Authentication (NLA) to require an authenticated session before the vulnerable pre-session code path is reached - noting that NLA reduces but does not guarantee elimination of exposure and that blocking 3389 will break remote administration workflows that depend on direct RDP. Where RDP is not needed, disable Remote Desktop entirely.
