Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor in Windows Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) allows an unauthorized attacker to disclose information over a network.

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

CVE-2025-26667 is an information disclosure vulnerability in Windows Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) that allows an unauthorized attacker to expose sensitive information over a network. The vulnerability stems from improper access controls within the RRAS component, potentially enabling network-adjacent attackers to retrieve sensitive data without authentication.

MitigationApply Microsoft security updates for Windows RRAS once available; verify RRAS is not exposed to untrusted networks and restrict access to essential personnel only.

Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.

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. Verify RRAS role is installed
    On Windows Server, open Server Manager > Add Roles and Features, or run 'Get-WindowsFeature -Name RemoteAccess' in PowerShell to check if the Remote Access role (which includes RRAS) is installed.
    Affected if RRAS/Remote Access role is installed on the server
  2. Confirm RRAS service is running
    Open Services console (services.msc) and check for 'Routing and Remote Access' service status, or run 'Get-Service RemoteAccess' in PowerShell.
    Affected if The RemoteAccess service is started or running
  3. Check Windows Server version
    Run 'winver' or execute 'Get-ComputerInfo | Select-Object OsVersion, OsBuildNumber' in PowerShell to obtain the exact build number.
    Affected if Build number is below 14393.7969 (Server 2016), 17763.7136 (Server 2019), 20348.3453 (Server 2022), 25398.1551 (Server 2022 23h2), or 26100.3775 (Server 2025); or if running Server 2008/2012 (any version)
  4. Identify network exposure of RRAS
    Check RRAS configuration in Routing and Remote Access console (rrasmgmt.msc) or via 'netsh routing ip show interface' to determine which network interfaces RRAS is bound to and whether it listens on external/untrusted networks.
    Affected if RRAS is configured to accept connections from non-internal networks or is bound to public-facing network adapters

The environment is affected if RRAS is installed/running AND the Windows Server version falls within the unpatched build ranges specified, particularly if exposed to network access.

Recommended fix High confidence

Windows Server 2016 to build 10.0.14393.7969 | Windows Server 2019 to build 10.0.17763.7136 | Windows Server 2022 to build 10.0.20348.3453 | Windows Server 2022 23h2 to build 10.0.25398.1551 | Windows Server 2025 to build 10.0.26100.3775

  1. Identify the current Windows Server version by running 'winver' or 'systeminfo' in command prompt
  2. Determine which version range your server falls into (2016, 2019, 2022, 2022 23h2, or 2025)
  3. For Windows Server 2016: Upgrade to build 10.0.14393.7969 or later via Windows Update or by installing KB5055525
  4. For Windows Server 2019: Upgrade to build 10.0.17763.7136 or later via Windows Update or by installing KB5055493
  5. For Windows Server 2022: Upgrade to build 10.0.20348.3453 or later via Windows Update or by installing KB5055527
  6. For Windows Server 2022 23h2: Upgrade to build 10.0.25398.1551 or later via Windows Update or by installing KB5055518
  7. For Windows Server 2025: Upgrade to build 10.0.26100.3775 or later via Windows Update or by installing KB5055519
  8. After upgrade, verify the new build number matches or exceeds the fixed version for your release
Caveat Security updates typically have minimal breaking changes; verify compatibility of RRAS configurations after patching
