Risk summary
Listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, confirmed exploited in the wild. EPSS exploit probability 6.4%. CVSS 7.8 (High).

CVE-2025-59230 is an elevation of privilege flaw in the Windows Remote Access Connection Manager (RasMan) service, affecting Windows 10 Version 1809 and Windows Server 2019. What makes this urgent is not the 6% EPSS score but the CISA KEV listing added 2025-10-14, meaning attackers are already using it to escalate from a local foothold to SYSTEM. Any 1809 or Server 2019 host that still runs the RasMan service, including VPN and dial-up capable machines, is a real target.
Do this: Deploy Microsoft's October 2025 patch for CVE-2025-59230 to all Windows 10 1809 and Server 2019 systems now, prioritizing internet-reachable and multi-user hosts.
