Improper verification of cryptographic signature in Windows RDP Client allows an unauthorized attacker to disclose information over a network.
AnalysisAI
Cryptographic signature verification failure in the Remote Desktop client for Windows Desktop (versions 1.2.0.0 through below 1.2.7279.0) exposes session or authentication material to network-based interception. The 'Jwt Attack' technique tag combined with CWE-347 indicates the client insufficiently validates JWT signatures used in modern RDP authentication flows - likely those tied to Azure AD/Entra ID single-sign-on - permitting an attacker to intercept or substitute cryptographic tokens. …
