Authenticated information disclosure via path equivalence
Published May 14, 2024 · Updated May 3, 2025
Information disclosure in Microsoft Windows Deployment Services allows remote authenticated users to read sensitive server data over the network. Microsoft maps the flaw to improper path-equivalence resolution but has not published the affected function, path form, or incorrect normalization operation. Exploitation requires low-privilege authentication and a reachable WDS deployment; the documented consequence is confidential-data disclosure only.
