Microsoft Warns Users against BlueKeep RDP Flaw; Immediate Update Advised, Again!


Microsoft has beseeched its users all over again to get their systems updated because as it turns out hackers already have exploits of the BlueKeep RDP flaw, already.

The patch has been fabricated for the “wormable” BlueKeep Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) vulnerability; therwise the hackers could easily perform a “WannaCry” level attack. The first warning was sent by Microsoft on May 14 when they’d released a patch for another serious Remote Code Execution vulnerability, CVE-2019-0708. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability leads to the hacker executing an arbitrary code on the windows machine and installing programs.  The term “Wormable” refers to the fact that any future malware exploits could contagiously spread from one system to another. According to sources, this vulnerability is of pre-authentication type and needs no user interaction. Any attacker who could easily exploit this vulnerability could install programs, edit, and view or delete data and even create new accounts with complete user rights. Microsoft has a strong hunch that the cyber-cons already have fully developed plans for exploiting the aforementioned vulnerability. More than a million PCs are susceptible to these wormable, BlueKeep RDP flaws. A security researcher conducted RDP scan hunting for port 3389 used by Remote Desktop to find potentially and current vulnerable devices. Major Anti-Virus brands such as Kaspersky, McAfee, Check Point and Malware Tech developed a Proof-of-Concept (PoC) that would use the CVE-2019-0708 to remotely execute the code on victim’s system. So it happens, numerous corporate networks are under the threat and are still vulnerable more than individuals are as more systems are connected in a ..
