Are there any more actions I need to take to be protected from this vulnerability? Yes. Customers running an affected version of Microsoft Exchange need to download the November 2023 Security Update and ensure the Serialized Data Signing feature is enabled to be protected from this vulnerability. Disabling certificate signing of Powershell serialization payloads makes your server vulnerable to known Exchange vulnerabilities and weakens protection against unknown threats. We recommend leaving this feature enabled.
