CVE-2026-47654 is a critical remote code execution vulnerability in Microsoft Remote Desktop Client. The weakness is classified as a use-after-free condition and is also described in available reporting as a heap-based memory corruption issue. Exploitation occurs in the client-side handling of data during a Remote Desktop session, where an attacker controlling a malicious Remote Desktop Server can trigger the flaw when a victim initiates a connection using a vulnerable client. Successful exploitation requires winning a race condition, which contributes to the high attack complexity assessment. If triggered successfully, the memory corruption can be leveraged to execute attacker-controlled code in the context of the Remote Desktop Client on the victim system.
