Unauthenticated remote code execution
Published Dec 10, 2024 · Updated Jun 9, 2026
Remote code execution in Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop Services allows remote attackers to execute code over the network. Microsoft identifies improper locking of sensitive memory but has not published the affected function, protocol message, or exact unsafe operation. Exploitation requires no privileges or user interaction, but Microsoft rates attack complexity high, so successful code execution depends on conditions beyond the attacker's control.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=10.0.17763.0 <10.0.17763.6659
