CVE-2024-5148Public exploit

Local credential disclosure via unauthenticated D-Bus handover

Published Sep 2, 2024 · Updated Nov 20, 2025

Information disclosure in GNOME Remote Desktop 46.0 and 46.1 allows local users to obtain RDP TLS keys and shared credentials. The system daemon exposes StartHandover, GetSystemCredentials, and TakeClient on its Handover D-Bus interface without restricting calls to the session user. Exploitation requires local access and an active handover; without a pending client, valid RDP credentials are needed to create one, and interception can interrupt that connection.
