A critical vulnerability in Microsoft Remote Desktop Client, identified as CVE-2025-48817, could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code on victims’ systems. This flaw affects multiple versions of Windows, posing a significant threat to organizations that rely on connections through the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Although simple, it requires us to do our part<\/h2>\n\n\n

Classified as a “relative path traversal” vulnerability and inadequate access control, CVE-2025-48817 has a CVSS score of 8.8, placing it in a high severity category. The attack vector is identified as low complexity and requires user interaction; no prior privileges are necessary for exploitation<\/strong>. However, the success of an attack depends on the victim connecting to a compromised remote desktop server.<\/p>\n\n\n

The attack is carried out through a man-in-the-middle scenario, where malicious actors control the server. Once the victim establishes a connection with the compromised server, the vulnerability allows attackers to escape the intended directory restrictions and execute code remotely<\/strong>, which can seriously impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the data.<\/p>\n\n\n
