The Windows Remote Desktop client for Windows installed on the remote host is missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:
A remote code execution vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this to bypass authentication and execute unauthorized arbitrary commands. (CVE-2022-21990)
An information disclosure vulnerability An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via [VECTOR], to read small portions of heap memory. (CVE-2022-24503)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the applicationโs self-reported version number.
