Freerdp · Freerdp · CVE-2022-24882
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
FreeRDP versions prior to 2.7.0
**Description**
The issue is related to the implementation of the NTLM protocol in the FreeRDP RDP client, which is associated with shortcomings in the authentication procedure. This can allow a remote attacker to disclose protected information when an empty password value is provided. The vulnerability affects FreeRDP-based RDP Server implementations, but RDP clients are not affected.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 2.7.0, update to FreeRDP 2.7.0 to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the NTLM authentication mechanism until a patch is available.
