Sibling-file access via unseparated RDPDR path concatenation
Published Aug 1, 2026 · Updated Aug 1, 2026
Path traversal in FreeRDP before 3.29.0 allows remote attackers to access prefix-sibling files through RDPDR drive redirection. The drive_file_combine_fullpath() helper appends a server-supplied non-rooted path directly to the shared base path without inserting a separator or enforcing containment. Exploitation requires a client to connect to a malicious or compromised RDP server with drive redirection enabled; access is limited to sibling paths sharing the root's string prefix.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
