Windows Server Emergency Security Updates
Microsoft has issued emergency security updates for Windows Server to address a critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in Windows Server Update Services (WSUS). WSUS, often, is a key component of a typical Config Manager (MECM) environment. This flaw could allow attackers to execute malicious code on affected servers, posing a significant risk to enterprise environments that rely on WSUS for patch management. Administrators are strongly advised to apply these updates immediately to prevent exploitation and maintain system integrity.
