PoC Exploit Released for Windows Server Update Services Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

A proof-of-concept exploit has been released for a critical vulnerability in Microsoft’s Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), identified as CVE-2025-59287, which allows unauthenticated attackers to execute remote code with SYSTEM privileges. The vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 score of 9.8 and is caused by unsafe deserialization of untrusted data in WSUS’s handling of AuthorizationCookies. It affects all supported Windows Server versions from 2012 to 2025, particularly through the GetCookie() endpoint. The exploit involves sending a manipulated AuthorizationCookie via an unauthenticated HTTP POST request to the WSUS ClientWebService endpoint. A publicly available PoC demonstrates how to generate a payload that can execute commands like "calc.exe." Microsoft has classified the flaw as “Exploitation More Likely” and advises immediate application of security updates. Organizations are encouraged to isolate WSUS servers and monitor for unusual SOAP traffic.
