Use after free in Windows Remote Desktop Services allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop Services stems from a use-after-free (CWE-416) that a network attacker can trigger without authentication or user interaction to run arbitrary code on the target host. It affects a broad range of Windows client and server releases (Windows 10 1607 through Windows 11 26H1, and Windows Server 2012 through Server 2025), and Microsoft has released fixes. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires the target to be running Windows Remote Desktop Services with an RDP listener reachable by the attacker (typically TCP 3389); the CVSS PR:N/UI:N metrics indicate no authentication or user interaction is needed once the service is reachable. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The supplied CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, base 9.8) describes a pre-authentication, no-interaction network RCE with full CIA impact - the highest-priority class of Windows flaw. … 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 | Apply the Microsoft security update for CVE-2026-69525 for your specific Windows build; Patch available per vendor advisory with per-SKU fixed builds (e.g., Windows Server 2022 10.0.20348.5622, Windows 11 24H2 10.0.26100.9445, Server 2025 10.0.26100.33438, Server 2012 R2 6.3.9600.23397 - see the MSRC guide at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-69525 for the exact build matching each release). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, scan your environment to identify all Windows 10 (1607 and later), Windows 11 (all versions through 26H1), and Windows Server 2012 through Server 2025 systems with Remote Desktop Services enabled. …
