CVE-2024-30080 is a CRITICAL ‘Remote Code Execution’ vulnerability. It affects Windows 10 version 1607 for x86 and x64 deployments.
The Windows message queuing service, which is a Windows component, needs to be enabled for a system to be exploitable by this vulnerability. This feature can be added via the Control Panel. To determine if your system is susceptible, check to see if the MSMQ HTTP-Support feature is enabled and if there is a service running named Message Queuing on the machine.
To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would need to send a series of specially crafted MSMQ packets in a rapid sequence over HTTP to a MSMQ server. This could result in remote code execution on the server side.
