CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe xrdp server is vulnerable in versions 0.10.6 and earlier, where an authenticated user can exploit insufficient authentication mechanisms in the Xvnc backend to bypass session isolation. This allows the attacker to view or control the active desktop sessions of other users on the same system. Organizations using xrdp with the Xvnc backend should prioritize upgrading to version 0.10.6.1 to mitigate this high-severity risk.

Original NVD 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.
