Last modified
CVE-2026-25942 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol. Prior to version 3.23.0, `xf_rail_server_execute_result` indexes the global `error_code_names[]` array (7 elements, indices 0–6) with an unchecked `execResult->execResult` value received from the server, allowing an out-of-bounds read when the server sends an `execResult` value of 7 or greater. EPSS estimates a 0.45% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
