CVE-2026-73241 PUBLISHED

FreeRDP: RDSTLS server authentication bypass: a credential-less Capabilities PDU is accepted at the auth step (fail-open `resultCode`)

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 11.08.2026 Published: 11.08.2026 Updated: 11.08.2026

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.
