CVE-2025-26645 is a critical remote code execution vulnerability in Microsoft Remote Desktop Client caused by a relative path traversal condition. The flaw affects supported Remote Desktop Client implementations on Windows and can be triggered when a vulnerable client connects to an attacker-controlled Remote Desktop server. Available reporting also characterizes the issue as involving improper access control. By abusing the path traversal condition during the RDP connection workflow, a malicious server can cause code to be executed on the connecting client system.
