CVE-2014-0296: Microsoft Windows 7

Medium severity, CVSS 5.1. EPSS: 5.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) implementation in Microsoft Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, and Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2 does not properly encrypt sessions, which makes it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to obtain sensitive information by sniffing the network or modify session content by sending crafted RDP packets, aka "RDP MAC Vulnerability."
