Senserva AI Opinion for CVE-2024-38128

Windows Server 2019 and 2022 RRAS installations face another Critical CVSS 9.8 remote code execution bug carrying a 71 percent EPSS score. The service's job, terminating tunnels from outside networks, means exploitation attempts arrive on exactly the traffic it exists to accept. Only current updates separate reachable from exploitable.

Do this: Update RRAS hosts now and consider moving VPN termination to a dedicated, hardened tier over time.
