Risk summary
Senserva AI Opinion for CVE-2024-38124
CVE-2024-38124 is a Netlogon elevation of privilege flaw rated Critical at CVSS 9.0, which is unusually high for a privilege escalation issue and reflects that Netlogon sits at the heart of domain authentication. It affects domain controllers running Windows Server 2019 and 2022, including Server Core installations, so any compromised foothold could be leveraged to gain domain-level privileges. It is not in CISA KEV and has no known ransomware use, but the 67 percent EPSS score signals meaningful near-term exploitation likelihood.
Do this: Prioritize the Microsoft patch on all Windows Server 2019 and 2022 domain controllers, including Server Core hosts, before other server roles.
