Unauthenticated remote code execution in the Windows Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) allows a network-positioned attacker to execute arbitrary code with system privileges on affected Windows hosts by sending crafted requests to the RRAS service, a consequence of a heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122) with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). The exposure is conditioned on the host actually running the RRAS role: RRAS is not installed or enabled in default Windows and Windows Server configurations, so only machines explicitly deployed as routers, VPN concentrators, or remote-access gateways (and reachable from the attacker's network path) are at risk, which is consistent with the low EPSS score of 0.89% (57th percentile). Exploitation status at the time of analysis is "no public exploit identified at time of analysis" per CISA SSVC (Exploitation: none, Automatable: no, Technical Impact: total), and Microsoft has released vendor patches, making prompt patching of any internet- or WAN-exposed RRAS deployment the priority action.
Local privilege escalation in the Windows File History Service lets an attacker who already holds a low-privileged account on an affected Windows host escalate to SYSTEM by triggering an integer underflow (CWE-191) while the service processes backup/versioning operations. Affected platforms are Windows 10 (1607, 1809, 21H2, 22H2), Windows 11 (23H2, 24H2, 25H2, 26H1), and Windows Server 2016/2019, including Server Core installations. Exploitation is local only and requires pre-existing code execution on the host (AV:L, PR:L) with high attack complexity (AC:H), no user interaction (UI:N), and full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the compromised machine; no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, EPSS is low at 0.26% (18th percentile), CISA SSVC records exploitation as "none" and automatable as "no", and there is no KEV listing. Vendor-released patches are available, so this is a moderate-priority local elevation-of-privilege issue rather than an urgent internet-facing threat.

Out-of-bounds read (CWE-125) in the Windows Kerberos implementation enables unauthenticated remote denial of service across a broad swath of Microsoft Windows versions. An attacker who can send a crafted Kerberos request over the network can crash the Kerberos service, disrupting authentication for all domain-joined users and services on the affected host. Microsoft has released patches; no public exploit or CISA KEV listing is identified at time of analysis.
