AI-suggested

Upgrade RustDesk to version 1.4.9 or later, where this missing authorization check has been fixed. No additional mitigation is required once the update is applied.

Description

RustDesk versions prior to 1.4.9 contain a missing authorization vulnerability where the server does not enforce session scope restrictions. This allows a peer with limited session permissions (such as FileTransfer, PortForward, ViewCamera, or Terminal) to send control messages and login options reserved for full Remote sessions. An authenticated remote peer can exploit this flaw to perform actions beyond their granted permissions, potentially observing and controlling the host improperly.
