Microsoft WSUS Patch Breaks Hotpatching on Windows Server 2025

A recent Microsoft security update (KB5070881) aimed at fixing a critical vulnerability in the Windows Server Update Service (WSUS) inadvertently disrupted hotpatching for some Windows Server 2025 systems enrolled in the Hotpatch program. This disruption prevents affected servers from applying updates without requiring a restart, forcing administrators to revert to traditional cumulative updates until January 2026. The vulnerability, CVE-2025-59287, allowed potential remote code execution by exploiting weaknesses in WSUS. Microsoft has since released a new update (KB5070893) that addresses the vulnerability while restoring hotpatching capabilities for those who have not yet installed the problematic update.

Microsoft: Patch for WSUS flaw disabled Windows Server hotpatching

An out-of-band security update, KB5070881, has disrupted the hotpatching feature for some Windows Server 2025 devices. This update was released alongside reports of the CVE-2025-59287 remote code execution vulnerability. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has instructed U.S. government agencies to strengthen their systems against this vulnerability. Microsoft has acknowledged that the OOB update caused some Hotpatch-enrolled Windows Server 2025 systems to lose their enrollment status and has ceased distributing the update to these devices. Those who installed the update will not receive Hotpatch updates in November and December but will get standard monthly security updates. Administrators can install the KB5070893 security update to address the CVE-2025-59287 flaw without disrupting hotpatching. Microsoft has also disabled the display of synchronization error details in its WSUS error reporting system and resolved various issues affecting Windows 11.

Windows Server emergency patches fix WSUS bug with PoC exploit

Microsoft has released out-of-band security updates to address a critical-severity vulnerability in its Windows Server Update Service (WSUS), tracked as CVE-2025-59287. This remote code execution flaw affects Windows servers with the WSUS Server Role enabled, allowing low-complexity remote attacks without user interaction. If the WSUS server role is enabled and the fix is not installed, the server becomes vulnerable. Microsoft recommends that customers install the updates immediately and provided alternative measures, such as disabling the WSUS Server Role or blocking inbound traffic to Ports 8530 and 8531. The update is cumulative and supersedes all previous updates for affected versions. After installation, WSUS will no longer display synchronization error details as a temporary risk mitigation measure.

If you have blue screen problems, BlueScreenView can help you find the cause

BlueScreenView simplifies the process of identifying the cause of a BSOD by highlighting the primary files related to the crash in red. It is much simpler to use than Windows Event Viewer and works on nearly every version of Windows since the early 2000s. The app is available in multiple languages, free, lightweight, and does not require installation.
