Remote code execution via malicious RDP server
Published Dec 10, 2024 · Updated Jun 9, 2026
Remote code execution in Microsoft Remote Desktop Client allows remote authenticated users to execute code when an administrator connects. Microsoft has not disclosed the vulnerable function or the improper access-control operation performed during the RDP exchange. Exploitation requires an administrator on the client to initiate a connection to an attacker-controlled RDP server, after which code runs on the client.
