CVE-2023-21529 — Is Exchange Server SE (latest CU/SU) affected?
Hi all,
I'm running Exchange Server Subscription Edition (SE) with the latest CU and SU applied. I've noticed that CVE-2023-21529 (Exchange Server RCE via deserialization, CVSS 8.8) was added to CISA's KEV catalog yesterday (April 13, 2026), indicating active exploitation in the wild.
The official affected version list only mentions Exchange 2013 CU23, 2016 CU23, and 2019 CU11/CU12 — nothing about Exchange SE.
My understanding is that since Exchange SE RTM is code-equivalent to Exchange 2019 CU15, and the fix for CVE-2023-21529 was already included in CU13+ (KB5023038, Feb 2023), Exchange SE with latest patches applied should be unaffected.
Can anyone confirm this? Is Exchange SE with current CU/SU fully protected against CVE-2023-21529, or is there anything else I should be checking given the new CISA KEV listing?
