The Windows Remote Desktop client for Windows installed on the remote host is missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:
An information disclosure vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this to disclose potentially sensitive information. (CVE-2022-22015, CVE-2022-26940)
A remote code execution vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this to bypass authentication and execute unauthorized arbitrary commands. (CVE-2022-22017)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the applicationâs self-reported version number.
