Senserva AI Opinion for CVE-2025-49691

Windows Miracast wireless display carries a Critical CVSS 9.8 remote code execution flaw on Windows 10 1809 and Server 2019. The distinctive risk is proximity-based: Miracast accepts wireless connections for screen casting, so conference room PCs, kiosks, and laptops with casting enabled expose the vulnerable code to anyone in radio range. EPSS is 22 percent, and this class of flaw needs no network foothold at all.

Do this: Patch 1809 and Server 2019 devices, then disable wireless display projection on machines, especially shared-space PCs, that never legitimately receive casts.
