DescriptionCVE.org

Uncontrolled recursion in Microsoft Exchange Server allows an unauthorized attacker to deny service over a network.

AnalysisAI

Uncontrolled recursion (CWE-674) in Microsoft Exchange Server enables remote unauthenticated attackers to crash or hang the service, resulting in a complete denial of availability across all affected Exchange versions from 2016 CU23 through the current Subscription Edition. The vulnerability requires no authentication, no user interaction, and no special network position - any attacker with TCP access to the Exchange endpoint can trigger the condition. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation No special conditions are required beyond network-layer access to the Exchange Server - the CVSS vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, confirming that exploitation requires no authentication, no user interaction, and no non-default configuration. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 7.5 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) accurately reflects the threat model: the attack is trivially automatable, requires zero authentication, and is reachable from any network path to the Exchange server - meaning even a mid-sized municipal IT team should treat this as urgent patching work. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Microsoft has released patches for all affected branches. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all Microsoft Exchange Server instances in production and document their versions to identify which systems fall within the vulnerable range (2016 CU23 and later through Subscription Edition). …
