Code execution via malicious Remote Desktop server
Published Feb 11, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Remote code execution in Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop Client allows remote attackers to run code after a user connects to a malicious server. Microsoft has not published the affected function or the operation performed incorrectly on server-controlled input. Exploitation requires a user-initiated connection to an attacker-controlled RDP server, after which code runs on the connecting Windows system.
