Microsoft's recent update aimed at fixing a security vulnerability (CVE-2025-2104) has unintentionally created an "inetpub" folder on the system drive of Windows operating systems. This folder's creation has raised concerns among IT security researchers, particularly Kevin Beaumont, who warns that it could lead to issues with Windows updates. Users can create junctions that redirect to the "inetpub" folder, potentially causing failures in installing updates and leaving systems vulnerable. Microsoft has stated that the "inetpub" folder should not be deleted and that its presence is part of security enhancements.
