CVE-2019-0708

Microsoft Remote Desktop Services

Microsoft Remote Desktop Services, formerly known as Terminal Service, contains an unspecified vulnerability that allows an unauthenticated attacker to connect to the target system using RDP and send specially crafted requests. Successful exploitation allows for remote code execution. The vulnerability is also known under the moniker of BlueKeep.

Exploitation status

  • CISA has confirmed this is being exploited in the wild. That is an observation of real attacks, not a prediction.
  • It is known to have been used in ransomware campaigns.
  • US federal civilian agencies are required to remediate it by 2022-05-03. That deadline does not bind private companies, but it is a reasonable benchmark for how urgently CISA views it.

Required action
