Senserva AI Opinion for CVE-2025-21301
The Windows Geolocation Service can be abused to disclose information it should not on Windows 10 1809 and Server 2019 systems, and Microsoft rates the underlying flaw Critical at 9.8. An 81 percent EPSS score means predictive models consider this one of the more likely candidates in this batch to see exploitation attempts soon, even though CISA has not listed it as actively exploited and there is no known ransomware tie. Location data leaking from a server that has no business running a geolocation service is a sign of unnecessary attack surface.
Do this: Disable the Geolocation Service on servers that do not need it and patch remaining Windows 10 1809 or Server 2019 endpoints that do.
