CVE-2025-21309 is a remote code execution vulnerability in Windows Remote Desktop Services. Available reporting describes the flaw as stemming from a race condition that leads to a use-after-free condition in the Remote Desktop Services component. In affected Remote Desktop Gateway or exposed RDP-related deployments, a remote attacker may be able to trigger the memory corruption condition and execute arbitrary code on the target system. The vulnerability has been described as not requiring user interaction, and reporting indicates it may be exploitable without valid login credentials in exposed configurations.
