Security Vulnerability - Security Advisory

Yesterday – 05/14/2019 Microsoft announced a new “worm-able” vulnerability in Remote Desktop Service protocol.

If your RDS/RDP/Microsoft remote desktop is not patched or covered by VPN/Firewalls – a remote exploitation with execution and infection from “outside” your security perimeter is possible.

This means that an “outside” bad actor can access and infect your desktops/servers then use them to attack other computers.

Affected systems: any 2008R2 and earlier, WinXP, win7, Win Server 2003 are all affected.

A Microsoft patch is available.
