Senserva AI Opinion for CVE-2024-49106

This Remote Desktop Services flaw on Server 2019 and 2022 is Critical at CVSS 9.8 and its EPSS score of 84 percent is the highest tier on this page. It shipped as part of an unusual batch of nine RDS remote code execution fixes in a single month, evidence of a systematic audit of the RDP codebase that attackers can replay. A patch this old with this exploit probability means unpatched hosts are living on borrowed time.

Do this: Confirm the December 2024 cumulative update is actually installed on every Server 2019 and 2022 host, since this patch is old enough that gaps indicate a broken update pipeline.
