CVE-2026-50647: Active Directory Federation Server Denial of Service Vulnerability
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 30/100)
- 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: 1.1% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 67.3% of all records.
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
- Fixed version: Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 AND 4.7.2 on Windows 10 Version 1607 for 32-bit Systems 2.0.50727.8983 & 3.0.30729.8978 & 4.7.4143.0; Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 AND 4.7.2 on Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems 2.0.50727.8983 & 3.0.30729.8978 & 4.7.4143.0; Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 AND 4.7.2 on Windows 10 Version 1809 for 32-bit Systems 2.0.50727.9069 & 3.0.30729.9067 & 4.7.4143.0.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 AND 4.7.2 on Windows 10 Version 1607 for 32-bit Systems 2.0.50727.8983 & 3.0.30729.8978 & 4.7.4143.0; Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 AND 4.7.2 on Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems 2.0.50727.8983 & 3.0.30729.8978 & 4.7.4143.0; Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 AND 4.7.2 on Windows 10 Version 1809 for 32-bit Systems 2.0.50727.9069 & 3.0.30729.9067 & 4.7.4143.0 or later.
