This year, Thanksgiving prep for admins means securing your Windows environment before signing off to bake pies and buy a turkey.

Dealing with yet another Microsoft vulnerability before a holiday is frustrating, but there are ways to mitigate your risk.

In fact, two separate vulnerabilities will affect Windows environments: 

  • A newly-discovered privilege escalation vulnerability affects all supported client and server versions of Windows, including Windows 10, Windows 11 and Windows Server — even with the latest patches.
  • An exploit (CVE-2021-42321) was also released for a Microsoft Exchange remote code execution (RCE) bug that affects on-premises Exchange Server 2016 and Exchange Server 2019.
