CVE-2025-26645 [HIGH] CWE-23 Remote Desktop Client Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Remote Desktop Client Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Description: Relative path traversal in Remote Desktop Client allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.
FAQ: According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is network (AV:N) and the user interaction is required (UI:R). What is the target context of the remote code execution?
This attack requires an admin user on the client to connect to a malicious server, and that could allow the attacker to gain code execution on the client.
FAQ: How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?
In the case of a Remote Desktop connection, an attacker with control of a Remote Desktop Server could trigger a remote code execution (RCE) on the RDP client machine when a victim connects to the attacker's server with the vulnera

FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information. If impact to additional products is identified, we will update the CVE to reflect this.
