High CVSS 8.3

CVE-2026-73241

NVD analysis in progress

FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to 3.30.0, FreeRDP server-side RDSTLS in libfreerdp/core/rdstls.c accepts an attacker-supplied RDSTLS_TYPE_CAPABILITIES PDU while rdstls_server_authenticate is waiting for RDSTLS_TYPE_AUTHREQ, leaving resultCode at RDSTLS_RESULT_SUCCESS and allowing a remote unauthenticated client to bypass the RedirectionGuid, username, domain, or password checks. This issue is fixed in version 3.30.0.

What this means

Exposure
Exploitable remotely over the network, without authentication and with no action from the victim. It also depends on circumstances the attacker does not control.
Impact
An attacker can read sensitive data and alter some data.
Weakness
The authentication mechanism can be bypassed, letting an attacker pose as a legitimate user.
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. Start with the instances exposed to the internet.
