High CVSS 7.8

CVE-2026-64624

NVD analysis in progress

FreeRDP before 3.28.0 treats lines beginning with forward slash in RDP files as raw command-line options, exposing the entire CLI parser surface to untrusted files. Attackers can craft malicious RDP files with /rdp2tcp, /cert:ignore, or /drive options to execute arbitrary commands, bypass certificate validation, or expose local filesystems without user interaction.

What this means

Exposure
Exploitable with local access to the machine and without authentication — but only if a user opens booby-trapped content.
Impact
An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
Weakness
The attacker slips extra arguments into the invocation of an external program.
Likelihood
Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.

What to doFold into the next patch cycle.
