Senserva AI Opinion for CVE-2024-49116
Part of the December 2024 wave of nine Remote Desktop Services remote code execution fixes, rated Critical at CVSS 9.8 on Server 2019 and 2022 with EPSS at 84 percent. When this many exploitable-looking bugs hit one service at once, the cheapest defense is architectural: fewer RDP endpoints reachable by attackers means fewer chances for any of the nine. The patch is long available, so residual risk today is self-inflicted.
Do this: Use this cluster as the trigger to inventory every RDP listener in the environment and remove direct internet exposure wherever it still exists.
