Microsoft released an emergency patch Thursday for a critical Windows Server vulnerability that's already being exploited by hackers. The flaw, CVE-2025-59287, affects the Windows Server Update Service (WSUS) and earned a severe 9.8 security rating. The bug allows attackers to remotely execute code on vulnerable systems through unsafe object deserialization. Microsoft's initial October patch was incomplete, prompting the emergency fix after cybersecurity firms spotted active attacks targeting exposed WSUS servers on ports 8530 and 8531. CISA added the vulnerability to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog Friday. Organizations can temporarily protect themselves by disabling the WSUS Server Role or blocking traffic to the affected ports. **Source:** [Dark Reading](https://www.darkreading.com/vulnerabilities-threats/microsoft-emergency-patch-windows-server-bug)
