Senserva AI Opinion for CVE-2025-47978
This denial of service flaw in Kerberos reaches Windows Server 2022 and the current Windows Server 2025 Server Core, and since Kerberos underpins domain authentication, a successful DoS here could disrupt logons across an entire domain, not just the targeted server. A 22 percent EPSS score puts real exploitation risk above the RRAS disclosure cluster elsewhere in this list.
Do this: Patch domain controllers and any Kerberos dependent servers on Server 2022 and Server 2025 Core with priority, given the domain wide impact of a Kerberos outage.
