CVE-2026-73241 is an improper-authentication vulnerability in FreeRDP versions before 3.30.0 affecting server-side RDSTLS authentication. During authentication, the server improperly accepts an attacker-supplied RDSTLS capabilities PDU when it expects an authentication-request PDU. This leaves the authentication result in a success state, enabling bypass of RedirectionGuid, username, domain, and password validation.
