CVE-2023-28283Network attack vector

Unauthenticated remote code execution

Published May 9, 2023 · Updated Jul 10, 2025

Remote code execution in Windows LDAP across affected Windows releases allows remote attackers to execute code through network requests. Microsoft maps the flaw to sensitive data stored in improperly locked memory but has not disclosed the affected code locus or wrong operation. No credentials or user interaction are required, but exploitation depends on conditions beyond the attacker's control and can compromise the host.
