description

Rocket Remote Desktop 18.0.8583.1 is affected by insufficient protection of credentials. Exposure is associated with Database Environment configurations that use Windows Account authentication and retain credentials in the application; the supplied evidence does not establish the exact attacker outcome.

mitigation

Review Database Environment deployments using Windows Account login and remove or avoid application-saved credentials where operationally possible. Restrict access to affected Remote Desktop deployments until vendor remediation guidance or an updated release is available.
