Windows DHCP Server Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 32/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.35% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
- Fixed version: Windows 10 Version 1607 for 32-bit Systems 10.0.14393.9612; Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems 10.0.14393.9612; Windows 10 Version 1809 for 32-bit Systems 10.0.17763.9376.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Windows 10 Version 1607 for 32-bit Systems 10.0.14393.9612; Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems 10.0.14393.9612; Windows 10 Version 1809 for 32-bit Systems 10.0.17763.9376 or later.
