Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the target's Remote Desktop Protocol service to be enabled and reachable over the network, and the attacker must hold valid credentials to establish an authenticated RDP session (PR:L - 'authorized attacker' per the description). Exploitation is further limited by high attack complexity (AC:H), implying a condition outside the attacker's direct control (e.g., a specific memory layout or race) must be met, so it is not reliably repeatable against default state. No user interaction is required (UI:N). Limiting factors: valid authentication, RDP exposure, and the AC:H condition; impact is confined to information disclosure (C:H) with no integrity or availability effect.

Impact

This is a moderate-severity information-disclosure flaw (CVSS 5.3) in the Windows Remote Desktop Protocol, and the signals are internally consistent rather than conflicting. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) describes a network-reachable but authenticated (PR:L) attack that requires high attack complexity (AC:H), yielding high confidentiality impact but no integrity or availability impact - matching the CWE-125 out-of-bounds read and the 'authorized attacker ... disclose information' wording in the description. No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, SSVC decision, or public POC was provided in the input, and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, so there is no evidence of active or imminent exploitation. The combination of required valid credentials (PR:L) plus high complexity (AC:H) materially lowers real-world risk versus the raw score, placing this as a routine patch-cycle item rather than an emergency: the main concern is the ubiquity of the affected platform and that it is a memory-disclosure primitive useful as an ASLR-bypass or chaining aid rather than a standalone high-impact bug.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who already holds valid (low-privilege) credentials to an RDP-reachable Windows host establishes an authenticated RDP session and sends crafted protocol data that triggers an out-of-bounds read, causing the service to return adjacent memory contents to the attacker. Because exploitation is network-based but requires authentication and winning a non-trivial condition (AC:H), it is most realistic as a targeted disclosure of memory (e.g., to leak pointers or sensitive data for use in a larger chain). No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 13, 2026

Information disclosure in the Windows Remote Desktop Protocol lets an authenticated remote attacker trigger an out-of-bounds read and leak memory contents over the network, with affected builds spanning Windows 10 (1607 through 22H2), Windows 11 (23H2 through 26H2), and Windows Server 2012 through 2025. Exploitation requires the target's RDP service to be enabled and network-reachable plus valid credentials (PR:L, consistent with Microsoft's 'authorized attacker' wording), and a high-complexity precondition outside the attacker's control must also be satisfied (AC:H), which is why the CVSS score is held to 5.3 even though the confidentiality impact alone is rated High. Impact is confined to information disclosure - no integrity or availability effect - and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis; Microsoft has published an update-guide entry and vendor patches are available.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: Microsoft's update guide for CVE-2026-102198 at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-102198 lists the security updates that raise each release to its fixed build - 6.2.9200.26434 (Server 2012), 6.3.9600.23470 (Server 2012 R2), 10.0.14393.9612 (Server 2016 / Windows 10 1607), 10.0.17763.9376 (Server 2019 / Windows 10 1809), 10.0.19044.7807 (Windows 10 21H2/22H2), 10.0.20348.5761 (Server 2022), 10.0.26100.33650 (Server 2025), 10.0.22631.7652 (Windows 11 23H2), 10.0.26100.9711 (Windows 11 24H2), 10.0.26200.9711 (Windows 11 25H2), 10.0.28000.3231 (Windows 11 26H1) and 10.0.26300.9711 (Windows 11 26H2) - so apply the latest cumulative update for the installed build and verify the reported build number afterward. Because exploitation requires an authenticated session (PR:L) and a reachable RDP listener, the most effective compensating control while patching is to stop exposing TCP/UDP 3389 directly to untrusted networks: place RDP behind a VPN or an RD Gateway, or restrict it with host firewall allow-lists and jump hosts, accepting the trade-off of additional access friction for remote workers. Enforce Network Level Authentication and least-privilege RDP-enabled accounts so that low-privilege credentials cannot reach the vulnerable code path, understanding that NLA alone does not fix the out-of-bounds read for legitimately authenticated users. Where RDP is not needed on a host, disable the Remote Desktop service entirely - the cleanest mitigation, with the side effect of losing remote GUI administration. Monitoring RDP session logs for anomalous or repeated session setups from unusual accounts can provide detection coverage, but the high attack complexity (AC:H) means absence of alerts is not evidence of absence of exploitation, and information disclosure leaves no integrity or availability artifacts to detect after the fact.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The flaw is a CWE-125 out-of-bounds read in the Windows Remote Desktop Protocol stack, meaning the RDP service processes protocol or channel data without correctly validating a length or index before reading, exposing adjacent memory to the attacker rather than allowing memory corruption. Because it is a read primitive, the effect is strictly a confidentiality breach (C:H) with no integrity or availability impact (I:N/A:N), and the scope remains unchanged (S:U) - the compromise stays within the RDP service context. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N indicates a network-reachable service, a high-complexity trigger condition (for example a specific memory layout, timing window, or data arrangement that the attacker cannot directly force), and a requirement for an authenticated session, with no user interaction needed on the victim side. The EUVD affected-version data shows the issue is pervasive across the Windows servicing branches rather than isolated to one release: builds below 6.2.9200.26434 (Server 2012), 6.3.9600.23470 (Server 2012 R2), 10.0.14393.9612 (Server 2016 / Windows 10 1607), 10.0.17763.9376 (Server 2019 / Windows 10 1809), 10.0.19044.7807 (Windows 10 21H2/22H2), 10.0.20348.5761 (Server 2022), 10.0.22631.7652 (Windows 11 23H2), 10.0.26100.33650 and 10.0.26100.9711 (Server 2025 / Windows 11 24H2), 10.0.26200.9711 (Windows 11 25H2), 10.0.28000.3231 (Windows 11 26H1) and 10.0.26300.9711 (Windows 11 26H2) are all affected. No CPE identifiers were supplied with the intelligence, so the EUVD build-number ranges are the authoritative basis for scoping affected systems.

Attack Technique

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.

Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
