CVE-2026-55626
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
xrdp is an open source RDP server. In versions 0.10.6 and prior, when an authenticated user session is initialized using the Xvnc backend over UNIX domain sockets, the Xvnc process is launched with insufficient authentication mechanisms. A local authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass intended session isolation, allowing them to unauthorizedly view or control the active desktop sessions of other users on the same system. Users using other backends, such as xorgxrdp or Xvnc over TCP sockets, are not affected. This issue has been fixed in version 0.10.6.1.

"value": "xrdp es un servidor RDP de código abierto. En las versiones 0.10.6 y anteriores, cuando se inicializa una sesión de usuario autenticado utilizando el backend Xvnc a través de sockets de dominio UNIX, el proceso Xvnc se inicia con mecanismos de autenticación insuficientes. Un atacante local autenticado podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad para eludir el aislamiento de sesión previsto, permitiéndole ver o controlar sin autorización las sesiones de escritorio activas de otros usuarios en el mismo sistema. Los usuarios que utilizan otros backends, como xorgxrdp o Xvnc a través de sockets TCP, no se ven afectados. Este problema ha sido solucionado en la versión 0.10.6.1."
