Senserva AI Opinion for CVE-2024-49108

One of nine Remote Desktop Services remote code execution flaws fixed together, Critical at CVSS 9.8 on Server 2019 and 2022, with an 84 percent EPSS score. Microsoft's guidance for this cluster described attackers winning a race condition against RD Gateway to trigger use-after-free conditions. Given the patch age, any host still vulnerable today reflects a patching blind spot rather than a scheduling decision.

Do this: Run a vulnerability scan for the December 2024 RDS fixes across your RD Gateway and session host fleet and remediate any host that missed them.
