CVE-2026-109244
Description
A flaw was found in FreeRDP. The winpr-makecert utility creates unencrypted private key and certificate archive files without restricting permissions to the file owner, and it assigns a hardcoded default password to exported archives. A local user on a multi-user system can exploit this flaw to read world-readable key files or decrypt archive files, leading to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive private cryptographic keys.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
