CVE-2025-27482Network attack vector

Unauthenticated code execution via improperly locked memory

Published Apr 8, 2025 · Updated Aug 10, 2026

Remote code execution in Microsoft Remote Desktop Gateway Service allows remote attackers to execute code through crafted network requests. The service stores sensitive data in memory without proper locking, allowing concurrent request handling to race access to that state. No authentication or user interaction is required, but successful exploitation depends on winning the race against a server with the RD Gateway role enabled.
