This repository is a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2020-13398, targeting the FreeRDP client. It consists of a Python script ('server.py') that implements a fake RDP server listening on TCP port 3389. When a client (such as FreeRDP) connects, the server performs a minimal RDP handshake and then sends a crafted license packet with a fake 64-bit RSA modulus and exponent. This malformed packet is designed to trigger a crash or undefined behavior in vulnerable clients, demonstrating the presence of the vulnerability. The repository also includes a brief README file. The exploit is network-based, requiring a client to connect to the attacker's server. No detection or payload customization is present; the code is a straightforward PoC for research and demonstration purposes.
