Belgium's cybersecurity authority has warned that threat actors are actively exploiting a recently patched critical vulnerability in Windows Netlogon. The flaw allows remote code execution on affected systems.

The Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium (CCB) issued the alert Friday, confirming that the vulnerability is being weaponized in real-world attacks. The Netlogon flaw affects Windows authentication and domain controller operations, making it a high-value target for attackers seeking network access. Organizations running vulnerable Windows systems should prioritize applying available patches. The vulnerability impacts domain-joined computers and domain controllers, potentially allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges. This marks a critical stage in the vulnerability lifecycle, as threats shift from theoretical risk to active exploitation. Security teams should review patch deployment status across their Windows infrastructure immediately and monitor for indicators of compromise related to Netlogon abuse.
