CVE-2026-25173 is an integer overflow or wraparound vulnerability in the Windows Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) management component. The flaw affects the RRAS snap-in or management tool used for remote server administration. Exploitation occurs when a domain-joined user or administrator connects to an attacker-controlled server through the RRAS interface, allowing maliciously crafted data from that server to trigger the integer handling flaw. Microsoft describes the issue as enabling code execution over a network, and related reporting indicates the same attack path can also destabilize the RRAS component under some conditions.

This repository is a small standalone Python exploit/simulation lab with 2 files: a README and one Python script. The README describes an educational lab for simulating Windows 11 RRAS-related vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-25172, CVE-2026-25173, CVE-2026-26111) in an isolated virtual network, including example attacker/victim IPs and patch/build guidance. The code file, rras_exploit.py, is the main entry point and implements a simple malicious TCP server using Python's socket module. When a client connects, it sends a crafted binary payload composed of a fixed header, the maximum 32-bit unsigned integer (0xFFFFFFFF) packed little-endian, and 1024 bytes of padding. The intended capability is to simulate an integer-overflow-triggering malformed RRAS response that could cause denial of service or abnormal behavior on a vulnerable Windows 11 RRAS management component. Notably, the script prints that it is starting on port 1723, but actually binds to TCP port 445, which is an inconsistency that may indicate either a bug or incomplete adaptation of the PoC. There is no shell payload, persistence, lateral movement, or post-exploitation logic; it is a basic malicious service PoC rather than a full weaponized exploit.
