Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →Attack vector is network-based; monitor for specially crafted protocol messages sent to the Windows Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) server port(s), which could indicate exploitation attempts targeting RCE on the RAS server machine. ↗
- →Monitor for admin users connecting outbound to untrusted or unknown RRAS/VPN servers; a malicious server can execute commands on the connecting client machine upon connection. ↗
- →Alert on users remoting into servers not under organizational control; exploitation requires a user to remote into an attacker-controlled server, which then executes commands on the user's machine without consent. ↗
- ·Dual attack surface: the vulnerability can be exploited both server-side (unauthenticated attacker sends crafted protocol message to RRAS server) and client-side (admin user connects to a malicious server). Detection strategies must account for both directions. ↗
- ·User Interaction is required (UI:R) for the client-side attack path; exploitation is not fully passive and requires an admin-level user to initiate a remote connection to the attacker-controlled server. ↗
- ·As of publication, the vulnerability has not been publicly disclosed or exploited in the wild (Exploitation Less Likely), but customer action (patching) is required. ↗

CVE-2024-43592 [HIGH] CWE-20 Windows Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Windows Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
FAQ: According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is network (AV:N) and the user interaction is required (UI:R). What is the target context of the remote code execution?
This attack requires an admin user on the client to connect to a malicious server, and that could allow the attacker to gain code execution on the client.
FAQ: How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?
An unauthenticated attacker could send a specially crafted protocol message to a Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) server, which could lead to remote code execution (RCE) on the RAS server machine.
FAQ: How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?
An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain
