A researcher has released working exploit code for CVE-2025-59287, a critical Windows Server Update Services vulnerability that lets attackers execute code remotely without authentication. The flaw affects all Windows Server versions from 2012 to 2025 and scores 9.8 out of 10 for severity. The bug stems from unsafe data handling in WSUS's cookie processing system. Attackers can send malicious requests to port 8530, triggering code execution with full system privileges. Microsoft warns the vulnerability is "wormable," meaning it could spread across networks automatically. With public exploit code now available on GitHub, unpatched WSUS servers face immediate risk. Organizations should apply Microsoft's October 2025 security updates immediately and restrict network access to WSUS servers until patching is complete. **Source:** [Cyber Security News](https://cybersecuritynews.com/poc-wsus-rce-vulnerability/)
