Microsoft Windows RCE Vulnerability Gives an Attacker Complete Control
Before you dismiss this as not serious due to the fact that it needs a server to be compromised first: it isn&#x27;t rare at all to see companies giving access to each others&#x27; servers for instance to help with the maintenance of bespoke applications, or for situations where systems administration is outsourced. And of course those are exactly the kind of clients that are at risk of having their infrastructure compromised in the first place, otherwise they wouldn&#x27;t have to outsource this work. And once you manage to gain access to the support teams&#x27; computers you <i>also</i> now have a gateway into all the other machines that they support. So this has the potential to rapidly escalate to something far more serious.
