Vulnerability Remediation - Windows 11 (all versions) - Updates Required
Product/System: Windows 11 (all versions)
Affected Systems Count: 4
Finding summary:
Windows 11 (all versions) is missing required updates on the listed hosts.
Apply missing quality/security updates via RMM or Windows Update (or Intune).
Stay on the current Windows version. Coordinate a maintenance window before reboots.
CVE references:
CVE-2026-33824
https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-33824
Vendor advisory:
https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-33824
Additional CVEs (1670 more) are listed in the Client Folder report.
Minimum version to reach:
- Apply Windows Update KB5129195. Upgrade to supported Operating System is recommended
- Apply Windows Update KB5129242. Upgrade to supported Operating System is recommended
- (1 end-of-life component notices omitted) (or the latest available).
Affected Systems:
- Landmarkloftpc2 (Landmark Lofts) - 10.20.2.7 [10.0.26100] [1658 vulns]
- CMC-DoorControl.cmclax (DoorControl) - 10.20.1.10 [10.0.26200] [1658 vulns]
- CMC-2025-FRONTDESK.cmclax (frontdesk) - 10.10.10.63 [10.0.26100] [1658 vulns]
- ELECTRICALROOM (doorcontrol) - 192.168.100.10 [10.0.26100] [1658 vulns]
Quick-check each host first.
Confirm the OS/build on the host matches this finding.
Then stop (escalate to Security as a false positive or no further action) if:
- already at/above the minimum version to reach (build/KB)
- already on the latest quality/security updates for the current Windows version
- the vendor documents this CVE as not applicable or already fixed
Include hostnames, current build, what you verified, and any vendor documentation link.
A fully updated host can still show a CVE until the vendor releases a fix. Do not force a feature upgrade.
Otherwise choose update, remove, or suppress below and document it in the ticket.
Remediation (pick the most appropriate option):
A. Apply missing OS quality/security updates (default)
- Apply the build/KB listed under Minimum version to reach (or the latest available) via RMM or Windows Update (or Intune).
- Prefer current vendor quality/security updates for the host's existing Windows version.
B. Host not needed - decommission / rebuild
- Only if the host should not exist; do not uninstall the OS.
C. Cannot patch - escalate to Security for suppression
- Examples: OS update channel / RMM broken after troubleshooting, client defers patching after verification, or no approved path yet.
- Do not use suppress only because the host is on an older feature build - feature upgrades need explicit client approval.
- Suppression only stops tracking. It does not patch or remove the vulnerability. Residual risk stays until a real fix.
- Client must accept or be notified. Record discussion notes to the client (who, what, hosts, and that risk remains).
Client coordination - READ BEFORE UPDATING:
Agree a maintenance window before reboots, feature upgrades, or broad patch pushes. If a user may be interrupted, schedule after hours or contact the client first.
If another vendor manages this application, device, workstation, or server: that vendor or the service owner must perform the update. If they are unable or unwilling, escalate to Security for suppression.
===== TECHNICAL GUIDANCE (do this) =====
- Apply missing Windows updates via RMM or Windows Update (or Intune)
- If this host is a VM, take a pre-update snapshot so you can revert if there are issues.
- Reboot if Windows Update requires it
- After update, confirm the host has the latest quality/security updates for its current Windows version
- If it is already fully updated and still flagged: escalate to Security as no further action - do not force a feature upgrade

Quick-check each host first.
Then stop (escalate to Security as a false positive) if the redistributable/runtime is not present or is already at/above the minimum version to reach for that major version.
Include hostnames and what you found.
Otherwise choose update, remove, or suppress below and document it in the ticket.
Remediation (pick the most appropriate option):
A. Update (usual path when keeping the major version)
- Install the updated package for the same major version to the version listed under Minimum version to reach (or the latest available).
B. Not needed / not in use - uninstall or remove
- Only after dependency testing proves the major version is unused (test machine; uninstall one major version at a time).
C. Vulnerable major version is required - escalate to Security for suppression
- Dependency testing showed apps need this major version, and it remains (or will remain) vulnerable.
- Suppression only stops tracking. It does not patch or remove the vulnerability. Residual risk stays until a real fix.
- Client must accept or be notified. Record discussion notes to the client (who, what, hosts, and that risk remains).
Client coordination - READ BEFORE UPDATING:
If this update may interrupt a user, schedule after hours or contact the client first.
If another vendor manages this application, device, workstation, or server: that vendor or the service owner must perform the update. If they are unable or unwilling, escalate to Security for suppression.
===== TECHNICAL GUIDANCE (do this) =====
- .NET Framework and modern .NET (.NET 5+) are not interchangeable
- An app built on one major version is tied to that version - removing it will break the app.
- Update each runtime line via WU/vendor installer; uninstall only when unused and verified
- If this host is a VM, take a pre-update snapshot so you can revert if there are issues.
- .NET 5: out of support - uninstall if unused and verified, or escalate cannot-update
- .NET 6: out of support - uninstall if unused and verified, or escalate cannot-update
- .NET 7: out of support since May 14, 2024 - uninstall if unused and verified, or escalate cannot-update

Quick-check each host first.
Then stop (escalate to Security as a false positive) if the product is not installed or is already at/above the minimum version to reach.
Include hostnames and what you found.
Otherwise choose update, remove, or suppress below and document it in the ticket.
Remediation (pick the most appropriate option):
A. Update (default when still needed)
- Update the app to the version listed under Minimum version to reach (or the latest available) via vendor updater, RMM, or Backstage CMD/PS.
- Relaunch the app if an update downloaded but did not apply.
B. Not needed / not in use - uninstall or remove
- Only if the app is not required on that host (confirm site standard / client).
C. Cannot reach a secure release - escalate to Security for suppression
- Typical case: OS cannot support the secure release, or update is blocked after RMM/Backstage CMD/PS/live-session attempts.
- If the product is EOL: check/apply the latest available final build first; if keeping it, notify the client, then escalate to Security.
- You verified the app is present at a vulnerable version.
- Do not use suppress for ordinary update failures - finish preferred methods or escalate troubleshooting first.
- Suppression only stops tracking. It does not patch or remove the vulnerability. Residual risk stays until a real fix.
- Client must accept or be notified. Record discussion notes to the client (who, what, hosts, and that risk remains).
Client coordination - READ BEFORE UPDATING:
If this update may interrupt a user, schedule after hours or contact the client first.
If another vendor manages this application, device, workstation, or server: that vendor or the service owner must perform the update. If they are unable or unwilling, escalate to Security for suppression.
===== TECHNICAL GUIDANCE (do this) =====
- Try updates in this order:
1) RMM automated patching or software deployment (preferred)
2) ScreenConnect Backstage CMD/PS or command/script (silent installer)
3) Only if 1 and 2 fail: live remote session with the end user for in-app UI updates
- If this host is a VM, take a pre-update snapshot so you can revert if there are issues.
- Firefox updates in background; relaunch may be needed to apply a downloaded update
- If still behind: check Firefox update settings / Maintenance Service
- ESR and release can both be present - update the channel that is installed
- Verify the update was successful

- Enable the OS mitigation: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
- If FeatureSettingsOverride is missing: set FeatureSettingsOverride=8 and FeatureSettingsOverrideMask=3
- If Override already has a value: add bit 8 (SSB) per Microsoft KB4072698 - do not wipe other Spectre bits already in use
- Prefer domain GPO (or Intune) over one-off registry edits
- Reboot, then verify: Install-Module SpeculationControl; Get-SpeculationControlSettings
- If already patched and mitigations show enabled: escalate to Security as a false positive with hostname, build, and the cmdlet output - then stop
- These mitigations can slow a busy server - discuss with the client if users will notice

Otherwise choose update, remove, or suppress below and document it in the ticket.
Remediation (pick the most appropriate option):
A. Matching firewall, or client confirms they use this VPN - update (default)
- If the site has a FortiGate / Fortinet firewall: download from support.fortinet.com and run the vendor installer to the version listed under Minimum version to reach (or the latest available). Do not rely on RMM for FortiClient VPN.
- Coordinate the FortiClient version with site FortiGate firmware before upgrading.
- If the site does not have a FortiGate / Fortinet firewall: confirm with the client that they still use this VPN before updating.
B. No matching firewall and client confirms they do not use this VPN - uninstall
- Confirm with the client first. Then uninstall and remove leftover VPN adapters/services.
C. Cannot update or uninstall - escalate to Security for suppression
- You confirmed it is in use (matching firewall or client confirmation) and still behind after the update path.
- Suppression only stops tracking. It does not patch or remove the vulnerability. Residual risk stays until a real fix.
- Client must accept or be notified. Record discussion notes to the client (who, what, hosts, and that risk remains).

Good evening Sarah,
Your quarterly vulnerability scan report has been completed and is available in your client folder.
Recommended remediation priorities (Top 12):
Complete report package:
The folder contains the following reports:
• Pending Remediation EPSS Score Report - classifies vulnerabilities by Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS), which measures the likelihood of exploitation within 30 days (scale 0-1.0, with 1.0 being most critical).
• All Vulnerabilities Report - agent-detected vulnerabilities on managed assets (applications, OS patches, and related findings), from critical to low severity.
• Executive Summary Report - a high-level overview of your security posture and network information.
• External Scan - detected vulnerabilities and services exposed to the internet.
• Suppressed Vulnerabilities Report - vulnerabilities that have been suppressed (e.g., false positives or accepted risk) and will not appear on future remediation lists.
Not all vulnerabilities may be feasible to remediate depending on business or technical constraints.
Note: Remediation tickets have been generated for items covered under your RMIT+ agreement. Third-party items not covered under the agreement will not be remediated unless we discuss them and a quote has been generated. To schedule a discussion, please use the scheduling link above.
We appreciate your commitment to security. Addressing these vulnerabilities is essential for maintaining the protection of your systems.
Sincerely,
Chris Knospe
