Microsoft Hacking Code leaked from info-sharing program with antivirus vendors, company says. Code submitted to Microsoft last year to demonstrate a serious exploit in Windows has somehow made it into the wild. The exploit targets a vulnerability in Windows’ remote desktop protocol, giving an attacker full control over a system and the ability to easily spread to other machines with remote desktop enabled. Security researchers raised alarms when a working exploit for the flaw was spotted in China shortly after the release. The patches for the new hole were distributed on Tuesday, as part of Microsoft’s regular monthly security fixes.
