Doc Text:
A flaw was found in FreeRDP. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this issue by connecting to the shadow server and transmitting input data before authentication is completed. This allows the attacker to inject synthetic keystrokes directly into the host user's active session, potentially performing unauthorized actions on the host system.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-10-14 23:01:37 UTC
FreeRDP shadow server from 3.0.0 before 3.32.0 dispatches input PDUs during the Confirm Active state before authentication, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject keyboard input. Attackers can negotiate TLS-only RDP and send an input PDU without Confirm Active to inject synthetic keystrokes into the host user's X11 session via XTEST.
