Microsoft has released its monthly security update for July 2025, which includes 132 vulnerabilities affecting a range of products, including 14 that Microsoft marked as “critical.”
### Summary A command injection vulnerability exists in the `node-code-sandbox-mcp` MCP Server. The vulnerability is caused by the unsanitized use of input parameters within a call to `child_process.execSync`, enabling an attacker to inject arbitrary system commands. Successful exploitation can lead to remote code execution under the server process's privileges on the host machine, bypassing the sandbox protection of running code inside docker. The server constructs and executes shell commands using unvalidated user input directly within command-line strings. This introduces the possibility of shell metacharacter injection (`|`, `>`, `&&`, etc.). ### Details The MCP Server exposes tools to run code inside a docker container. An MCP Client can be instructed to execute additional actions for example via indirect prompt injection when asked to generate code that read a file. Below some example of vulnerable code and different ways to test this vulnerability including a real example o...
**What actions do customers need to take to protect themselves from this vulnerability?** Customers who have disabled Automatic Extension Upgrades or would like to upgrade an extension immediately must manually update their Azure Monitor Agent to the latest version. For more information on how to perform a manual update, see Manage Azure Monitor Agent.
Integer overflow or wraparound in Microsoft Graphics Component allows an authorized attacker to execute code locally.
Out-of-bounds read in Windows Hyper-V allows an authorized attacker to execute code over an adjacent network.
**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is network (AV:N) and the user interaction is required (UI:R). What is the target context of the remote code execution?** This attack requires an admin user on the client to connect to a malicious server, and that could allow the attacker to gain code execution on the client.
**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is local (AV:L). Why does the CVE title indicate that this is a remote code execution?** The word **Remote** in the title refers to the location of the attacker. This type of exploit is sometimes referred to as Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE). The attack itself is carried out locally. This means an attacker or victim needs to execute code from the local machine to exploit the vulnerability.
Use after free in Windows KDC Proxy Service (KPSSVC) allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.
**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is network (AV:N), user interaction is required (UI:R), and privileges required are none (PR:N). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** Exploitation of this vulnerability requires an unauthorized attacker to wait for a user to initiate a connection to a malicious server that the attacker has set up prior to the user connecting.
Improper neutralization of special elements used in an sql command ('sql injection') in Microsoft Configuration Manager allows an authorized attacker to execute code over an adjacent network.
