Windows Server containers
This out-of-band (OOB) update addresses the following known issue:
- [Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)] Fixed: This update addresses a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability that was identified in WSUS reporting web services. For more information about the security fix, see CVE-2025-59287.
As part of this OOB release, we have updated the Windows Server Base OS container images. With these updates, you can either automate the build process for updated container images or manually pull the latest versions. Unlike Windows Server or Windows client, Windows Server containers do not include a servicing stack and do not support in-place updates. Instead, we rebuild and publish updated Windows Server Base OS container images each month to incorporate the latest fixes.
For more information on update best practices, see Update Windows Server containers.

After installing this update or later updates, Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) does not display synchronization error details within its error reporting. This functionality is temporarily removed to address the Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. For more information about the vulnerability, see CVE-2025-59287.
