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

Windows Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) contains a vulnerability that allows an unauthorized attacker on the network to access sensitive information. This is an information disclosure flaw in a Windows networking service that handles remote access and routing functionality.

MitigationApply the relevant Microsoft security update for RRAS when available, and restrict network access to RRAS to trusted internal networks 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. Identify Windows Server version
    Run 'winver' or 'systeminfo | findstr /B /C:"OS Name" /C:"OS Version"' to determine the exact Windows Server build number
    Affected if Version is Windows Server 2008/2012 (any build), Server 2016 < 10.0.14393.8246, Server 2019 < 10.0.17763.7558, Server 2022 < 10.0.20348.3932, Server 2022 23h2 < 10.0.25398.1732, or Server 2025 < 10.0.26100.4652
  2. Verify RRAS role is installed
    Run 'Get-WindowsFeature -Name Routing' in PowerShell (requires RSAT) or check via Server Manager > Add Roles and Features > Remote Access (Routing role)
    Affected if The Routing role or role service appears installed in the list of installed features
  3. Confirm RRAS service status
    Run 'Get-Service -Name RemoteAccess' or check service status in services.msc for 'Routing and Remote Access' (RRAS) service
    Affected if The RemoteAccess service is installed and shows a status other than 'Not Installed' or disabled
  4. Check network exposure of RRAS
    Run 'netsh routing ip show interfaces' or inspect RRAS configuration in Routing and Remote Access snap-in (rrasmgmt.msc) to determine which network interfaces are listening
    Affected if RRAS is bound to network adapters accessible from untrusted networks (not restricted to localhost or internal management VLANs)

You are affected if your Windows Server version falls within the affected build ranges AND the RRAS role is installed and accessible on your network.

Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.

Recommended fix High confidence

Windows Server 2016 (10.0.14393.8246+), Windows Server 2019 (10.0.17763.7558+), Windows Server 2022 (10.0.20348.3932+), Windows Server 2022 23h2 (10.0.25398.1732+), Windows Server 2025 (10.0.26100.4652+)

  1. Backup critical data and document current RRAS configuration before updating
  2. Apply the latest Windows security update for your server version from Windows Update or Microsoft Update Catalog
  3. For Windows Server 2016: update to version 10.0.14393.8246 or later
  4. For Windows Server 2019: update to version 10.0.17763.7558 or later
  5. For Windows Server 2022: update to version 10.0.20348.3932 or later
  6. For Windows Server 2022 23h2: update to version 10.0.25398.1732 or later
  7. For Windows Server 2025: update to version 10.0.26100.4652 or later
  8. Restart the server if prompted by the update installation
Caveat Security updates typically have minimal impact; verify RRAS routing and remote access policies after update
