Remote Desktop Session Host (RDSH) in Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) through 8.1 in Microsoft Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2, and Windows RT Gold and 8.1 does not properly verify certificates, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof clients via a crafted certificate with valid Issuer and Serial Number fields, aka "Remote Desktop Session Host Spoofing Vulnerability."

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a Windows Remote Desktop Session Host spoofing flaw. In affected Windows versions, RDP certificate verification can be bypassed in a man-in-the-middle scenario, allowing an attacker positioned on the network path to impersonate a trusted client using crafted certificate fields. Exposure is most likely on legacy Windows systems running Remote Desktop Session Host or RDP through 8.1, including Windows 7 SP1, 8, 8.1, Server 2008, Server 2012, and related RT releases. Treat as a legacy Windows remote-access trust issue. It is not marked KEV in the provided data, but RDP exposure on older systems can carry business risk and should be remediated through Microsoft’s advisory process. Mitigation focus: Apply Microsoft guidance and updates from MS15-082 for affected systems.; Inventory RDSH/RDP hosts running the listed Windows versions.; Prioritize systems reachable from untrusted or shared network paths..
