Versions:
Intune WSL Plugin 1.25.4.0, released by Microsoft Corporation, is a single-version system utility designed to extend Microsoft Intune’s device-compliance engine so that it can evaluate the security posture of Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) distributions running on corporate Windows endpoints. Once deployed through Intune, the lightweight plugin interrogates each registered WSL instance—regardless of distro vendor—and returns cryptographic proof of compliance status to the Intune service, allowing administrators to block or allow network resources, conditional-access sessions, and corporate applications based on whether Linux workloads meet the same governance bar as the Windows host. Typical use cases include verifying that WSL kernels are patched to the organization’s required level, confirming that custom CA certificates or endpoint-protection agents are injected into every distro, ensuring that only corporate-approved distributions are present, and preventing exfiltration of sensitive data through unhardened Linux user spaces. Because the evaluation logic executes inside the WSL guest yet reports back to the native Intune client, security teams gain unified visibility across Windows and Linux attack surfaces without deploying separate Linux device-management stacks. The plugin is distributed as an offline .msi and integrates seamlessly with existing Intune configuration profiles; no manual configuration inside individual distros is required. Intune WSL Plugin 1.25.4.0 is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
