Critical WSUS RCE (CVE-2025-59287) Actively Exploited

⚠️ A critical unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in Microsoft Windows Server Update Services was identified as CVE-2025-59287 and observed being actively exploited in October 2025. The flaw stems from unsafe deserialization in WSUS endpoints (GetCookie and ReportingWebService) and enables remote attackers to execute arbitrary code as SYSTEM. Microsoft issued an emergency out-of-band patch on Oct 23 after initial Patch Tuesday fixes were incomplete; organizations should apply the update or follow temporary mitigations such as disabling the WSUS Server Role or blocking inbound TCP ports 8530/8531 immediately.
