The vulnerability, tagged as CVE-2025-59287, has a terrifying CVSS score of 9.8, indicating how serious this issue is. It allows hackers to execute code remotely, which is a nightmare for any system administrator.
Three savvy researchers found and reported this bug, and now that a proof-of-concept exploit is out there, you can bet attackers are on the prowl. If your Windows servers don’t have the WSUS Server Role enabled, you’re in the clear, but if they do, it’s time to patch up and secure your systems.
