Windows Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) Information Disclosure Vulnerability

Published Jul 14, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 6.5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Use of uninitialized resource in Windows RDP allows an unauthorized attacker to disclose information over a network.

Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

The vulnerability stems from Windows RDP using an uninitialized resource, classified as CWE-908. An attacker who can reach a host’s RDP port can read sensitive data that should not be exposed, leading to a breach of confidentiality. The flaw does not allow arbitrary code execution or denial of service; its impact remains limited to disclosure of potentially private or credential information transmitted over the network.

Affected Systems

All Microsoft Windows client and server editions that support RDP and match the affected versions are impacted. This includes Windows 10 from version 1607 through 22H2, Windows 11 from 24H2 through 26H1, and Windows Server from 2012 up to 2025, including Server Core installations.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.5 indicates moderate severity, while an EPSS score of less than 1% reflects a very low likelihood of exploitation at present. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. The attack vector is inferred to be remote network access to the RDP service; an unauthenticated attacker can trigger the disclosure by simply connecting to the RDP port, without needing local privileges.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Install the latest Windows cumulative update that addresses the RDP issue as detailed in the Microsoft Security Response Center advisory
  • Disable RDP on systems where it is not required, or restrict its availability to an internal network or a VPN to limit exposure
  • Enforce Network Level Authentication and multi‑factor authentication for all RDP sessions to reduce the risk of data disclosure
