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
Heap-based buffer overflow in Windows Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) allows an authorized attacker to execute code 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

Heap-based buffer overflow in Windows Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) allows an authorized attacker to execute arbitrary code remotely. The vulnerability stems from improper memory handling when processing network requests in RRAS, leading to heap corruption that can be exploited for code execution.

MitigationApply Microsoft security updates for CVE-2025-60715 to all affected Windows servers running RRAS, and restrict RRAS access to authorized personnel only while monitoring for indicators of compromise.

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 is installed on the system
    Open Server Manager > Add Roles and Features, or run 'Get-WindowsFeature RemoteAccess' in PowerShell on Windows Server. On Windows 10/11, check Services list for 'Routing and Remote Access' service status.
    Affected if RRAS is installed and the service exists on the system, placing it in the attack surface for this vulnerability
  2. Check if RRAS service is running or enabled
    Run 'Get-Service RemoteAccess' in PowerShell, or open Services.msc and look for 'Routing and Remote Access' service. Check if Status is Running or Startup type is set to Automatic/Manual.
    Affected if The RemoteAccess service is running or configured to start, making the vulnerable code path active
  3. Determine Windows version and build number
    Run 'winver' from Run dialog, or run 'systeminfo | findstr /B /C:"OS Name" /C:"OS Version"' in Command Prompt, or use 'Get-ComputerInfo | Select-Object WindowsProductName, WindowsVersion, OsHardwareAbstractionLayer' in PowerShell.
    Affected if The installed Windows version and build number fall within the affected ranges: Windows 10 1607 < 10.0.14393.8594, 1809 < 10.0.17763.8027, 21h2 < 10.0.19044.6575, 22h2 < 10.0.19045.6575; Windows 11 23h2 < 10.0.22631.6199, 24h2 < 10.0.26100.7092, 25h2 < 10.0.26200.7092; or Windows Server 2008/R2 of a
  4. Check for installed security update for CVE-2025-60715
    Open Control Panel > Programs and Features > View installed updates, or run 'Get-HotFix | Where-Object {$_.Description -like "Security Update"} | Sort-Object InstalledOn -Descending' in PowerShell. Search for the KB article listed in the Microsoft security bulletin for this CVE.
    Affected if No security update specific to CVE-2025-60715 is installed, leaving the RRAS vulnerability unpatched

A system is affected if it runs a vulnerable Windows version within the specified build ranges AND has RRAS installed with the RemoteAccess service enabled, and lacks the CVE-2025-60715 security update.

Interim mitigation

Apply Microsoft security updates for CVE-2025-60715 to all affected Windows servers running RRAS, and restrict RRAS access to authorized personnel only while monitoring for indicators of compromise.

Recommended fix High confidence

Apply the Microsoft security update for CVE-2025-60715 - install the KB corresponding to your Windows version (e.g., for Windows 10 22h2 install update bringing build to 10.0.19045.6575 or higher)

  1. Identify the current Windows version and build number by running 'winver' or 'systeminfo'
  2. Navigate to the Microsoft Security Response Center (msrc.microsoft.com) and search for CVE-2025-60715
  3. Download and install the corresponding security update for your Windows version from Microsoft Update Catalog or Windows Update
  4. Restart the affected system after applying the update
  5. Verify the update installed successfully by checking Windows Update history or running 'systeminfo' to confirm the build number matches or exceeds the fixed version for your product
  6. For Windows Server 2008/R2 systems: migrate to a supported Windows Server version as these OS versions are end-of-life and no longer receive security updates
Caveat Review application compatibility before patching; test RRAS configurations in staging if possible
