AI Analysis

Impact

A use-after-free flaw in the Windows Services for NFS ONCRPC XDR Driver enables an unauthorized attacker to execute code on the target system. The vulnerability is a classic memory corruption bug (CWE-416) that is triggered when the driver attempts to use an object that has already been freed. Successful exploitation gives the attacker arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the service process, potentially allowing full control of the affected system.

Affected Systems

The flaw affects Microsoft Windows Server products from 2012 through 2025, including both standard and Server Core installations. In particular, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2022, and Windows Server 2025 are listed as impacted versions.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.8 marks this as critical. The EPSS score is 1%, the flaw is not yet listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, suggesting limited public exploitation data. The likely attack vector is network-based: a remote host can trigger the flaw by interacting with the vulnerable NFS/ONCRPC XDR service, leading to remote code execution on the affected Windows Server.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the Microsoft security update that addresses CVE-2026-69595 as soon as it is available.
  • If the update cannot be applied immediately, disable the Windows Services for NFS or remove the ONCRPC XDR driver from the system if the NFS feature is not required for your environment.
  • Block or restrict inbound traffic to the NFS/ONCRPC ports on the server using firewall or network segmentation to limit exposure to the vulnerability.
