Microsoft has fixed a vulnerability in all current Windows versions that allows an attacker to exploit the Windows Group Policy feature to take full control over a computer. This vulnerability affects all Windows versions since Windows Server 2008.

Windows administrators can remotely manage all of the Windows devices on a network through the Group Policy feature. This feature allows administrators to create a centralized global configuration policy for their organization that is pushed out to all of the Windows devices on their network.
