About this tag
CVE-2025-59287 is a critical remote code execution vulnerability in Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) that has been actively exploited in the wild. Microsoft released emergency out-of-band patches after initial fixes were incomplete. The flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to gain SYSTEM-level access on WSUS hosts, enabling deployment of backdoors like ShadowPad. U.S. federal agencies and multiple national CERTs have issued urgent remediation mandates. Administrators must prioritize patching all WSUS servers to prevent compromise. The vulnerability also caused unexpected disruptions to Windows Server 2025 Hotpatch for some users, forcing affected systems off the restart-free update cadence.
