CVE-2008-4250

Microsoft Windows Server Service buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2008-4250) enabled remote code execution via crafted RPC requests.

This 2008 vulnerability allowed remote attackers to execute arbitrary code through a crafted RPC request targeting path canonicalization in the Windows Server Service. As a KEV entry actively exploited in the wild, it represents a critical supply-chain risk for DIB organizations relying on Windows infrastructure, requiring immediate patching and network segmentation to prevent unauthorized access.

Shame score — While the vulnerability was actively exploited, it was disclosed and patched relatively quickly compared to some other high-profile failures.
