Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires network reachability to a running Microsoft Azure Attestation or Device Health Attestation Service endpoint that processes attestation requests; per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) no authentication or user interaction is needed against such an exposed service. The practical limiting factor is exposure: on-premises Device Health Attestation is an optional Windows Server role, so only hosts where it is enabled and network-accessible are at risk, and affected on-prem builds are Windows Server 2019 (<10.0.17763.9376), 2022 (<10.0.20348.5761), and 2025 (<10.0.26100.33650). Impact is confined to information disclosure (C:H, I:N, A:N) - no code execution or service disruption - so risk is bounded by the sensitivity of memory recoverable from the service.

Impact

The input CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, base 7.5) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated information-disclosure flaw with high confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability impact - consistent with an out-of-bounds read (CWE-125) that leaks memory contents. No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, POC reference, or SSVC decision data was provided, so exploitation likelihood cannot be quantified from the input; the 7.5 base score reflects potential severity, not observed activity. This is credible to prioritize for patching because it is remotely and unauthenticated-reachable against a Microsoft attestation service, but in the absence of KEV/EPSS/POC signals there is no evidence of active or imminent mass exploitation - it currently reads as a patch-on-cycle item rather than an emergency. Note a scoping nuance to verify with the vendor: the description names both the cloud 'Microsoft Azure Attestation service' and the on-premises 'Device Health Attestation Service,' yet the EUVD affected-version list enumerates only on-premises Windows Server builds, so the Azure-side exposure and remediation path are not confirmed by the supplied data.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted attestation request over the network to a vulnerable Azure Attestation or Windows Server Device Health Attestation endpoint, triggering an out-of-bounds read that returns adjacent process memory in the response. The leaked memory could contain sensitive data such as cryptographic material or other secrets usable for follow-on attacks. No public exploit was identified in the provided data, and the low attack complexity (AC:L) means no special timing or race conditions are required.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 14, 2026

Unauthenticated remote attackers can disclose sensitive memory contents from Microsoft Azure Attestation and the Windows Server Device Health Attestation Service through an out-of-bounds read (CWE-125) triggered by a crafted request to an exposed attestation endpoint, rated CVSS 3.1 base 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N). The practical exposure is limited: on-premises Device Health Attestation is an optional Windows Server role, so only hosts where it is enabled and network-reachable are at risk, specifically Windows Server 2019 before 10.0.17763.9376, Windows Server 2022 before 10.0.20348.5761, and Windows Server 2025 before 10.0.26100.33650. Impact is confined to information disclosure with high confidentiality loss and no integrity or availability effect, and no public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Apply the vendor-released Microsoft security updates referenced in the MSRC advisory for CVE-2026-69577 (https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-69577), which raise the affected builds to Windows Server 2019 10.0.17763.9376 or later, Windows Server 2022 10.0.20348.5761 or later, and Windows Server 2025 10.0.26100.33650 or later; the EUVD advisory at https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-69577 corroborates the same version boundaries. If immediate patching is not possible, reduce exposure by restricting network reachability to the attestation service endpoint to trusted management networks only (firewall rules or private/VPN access), since the CVSS vector shows the attack requires only network access and no credentials - the trade-off is that legitimate remote attestation clients outside those networks will fail. As a fallback for hosts that do not use it, disable or remove the optional Device Health Attestation role, accepting that any dependent attestation or compliance workflow will stop until the role is restored. Monitor for anomalous or repeated attestation requests that could indicate memory-probing behaviour, and note that no public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, so compensating controls can be prioritized by actual endpoint exposure.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The flaw is an out-of-bounds read (CWE-125) in the parsing/handling logic of attestation requests within Microsoft Azure Attestation and the on-premises Device Health Attestation Service that ships as a Windows Server role. Attestation services validate platform integrity - typically consuming TPM-backed claims and quoted measurements - and therefore process structured, attacker-influenced network payloads before performing trust decisions. When length or boundary checks on such input are insufficient, the service can read past the end of a buffer and return or otherwise expose adjacent memory contents to the requester, producing a confidentiality-only disclosure. The EUVD-supplied affected builds map to specific Windows Server release trains and their CPE-identifiable kernels/roles: Windows Server 2019 (including Server Core) 10.0.17763.0 up to 10.0.17763.9376, Windows Server 2022 10.0.20348.0 up to 10.0.20348.5761, and Windows Server 2025 (including Server Core) 10.0.26100.0 up to 10.0.26100.33650. Because the CVSS vector carries PR:N and UI:N, reachability to the listening service - not credentials or user action - is the dominant precondition, and the absence of integrity/availability impact means the service is not crashed or subverted, only queried for memory it should not return.

DescriptionCVE.org

Out-of-bounds read in Microsoft Azure Attestation service and Device Health Attestation Service allows an unauthorized attacker to disclose information over a network.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A high-severity memory disclosure flaw affects Microsoft Azure Attestation and the optional on-premises Windows Server Device Health Attestation (DHA) role, allowing an unauthenticated attacker who can reach an attestation endpoint to read sensitive memory contents. Only organizations that have enabled the DHA role on Windows Server 2019, 2022, or 2025 and left it network-reachable are in scope, so the affected population is narrow, but leaked attestation material could weaken device-trust and health-verification decisions. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified, giving leadership a controlled window to inventory exposure and remediate deliberately.

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.
