Windows Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

This is a remote code execution vulnerability in Windows Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS), a Windows server role that handles routing and VPN capabilities. The vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on affected Windows servers where RRAS is enabled, likely through malformed network requests to the RRAS service.

MitigationApply the relevant Microsoft security updates for CVE-2024-26200 to all affected Windows servers. If RRAS is not required, disable the service to reduce attack surface.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Determine if RRAS is enabled
    Open Services (services.msc) and locate 'Routing and Remote Access (RRAS)' service, or run 'Get-Service RemoteAccess' in PowerShell. Check if the service status is Running or if it's set to start automatically.
    Affected if RRAS service is installed and enabled (Running or set to Automatic start)
  2. Identify Windows build version
    Run 'winver' from the Run dialog, or run 'Get-ComputerInfo | Select-Object WindowsProductName, WindowsVersion, OsHardwareAbstractionLayer' in PowerShell, or run 'systeminfo' in Command Prompt and look for the 'OS Version' line.
    Affected if The build number is below the fixed version for your Windows release
  3. Compare against affected version ranges
    Match your Windows release (1507, 1607, 1809, 21h2, 22h2 for Windows 10; 21h2, 22h2, 23h2 for Windows 11) and build number to the affected ranges: Windows 10 1507 < 10.0.10240.20596, 1607 < 10.0.14393.6897, 1809 < 10.0.17763.5696, 21h2 < 10.0.19044.4291, 22h2 < 10.0.19045.4291. Windows 11 21h2 < 10.0.22000.2899, 22h2 < 10.0.22621.3447, 23h2 < 10.0.22631.3447.
    Affected if Your Windows build version falls below the fixed build for your specific Windows release

Your environment is affected if RRAS is enabled and your Windows build version is lower than the fixed build for your Windows release.
