CVE-2025-33050Network attack vector

Unauthenticated service interruption via undisclosed mechanism

Published Jun 10, 2025 · Updated Feb 20, 2026

Protection mechanism failure in Microsoft Windows DHCP Server allows remote attackers to interrupt DHCP service over a network. Microsoft has not disclosed the named code locus or the incorrect operation performed on network input. Reachability requires the DHCP Server role and network access; no authentication or user interaction is required, and the bounded impact is service interruption.
