Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →Detect specially crafted MSMQ packets sent over the network to a MSMQ server, which could indicate exploitation of a type confusion vulnerability leading to remote code execution ↗
- ·The vulnerability only affects systems where the Windows Message Queuing (MSMQ) service is installed and running; attack surface is limited to systems with MSMQ enabled and reachable over the network ↗
- ·Exploitation requires an authenticated (authorized) attacker — unauthenticated remote exploitation is not indicated ↗
- ·As of advisory publication, no public exploit or active exploitation has been observed; Microsoft rates this as Exploitation Less Likely ↗

CVE-2025-53145 [HIGH] CWE-843 Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Description: Access of resource using incompatible type ('type confusion') in Windows Message Queuing allows an authorized attacker to execute code over a network.
FAQ: How could an attacker exploit the vulnerability?
To exploit this vulnerability, an authenticated attacker would need to send a specially crafted MSMQ packet to a MSMQ server. This could result in remote code execution on the server side.

FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information. If impact to additional products is identified, we will update the CVE to reflect this.
