HighCVSS 7.5Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Elevated risk62th percentile - higher than 62% of all known CVEs
Summary
An infinite loop in Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) allows an unauthorized attacker to remotely cause a denial of service (DoS).
Risk Assessment
An attacker can remotely overload the AD FS server, preventing user authentication and access to federated resources.
Recommendation
Apply the security update from Microsoft for AD FS or temporarily restrict access to the service from trusted networks.
