CVE-2020-9497

19
FAUCET Score

CVE-2020-9497 is a medium-severity information disclosure vulnerability affecting Apache Guacamole 1.1.0 and older versions, as well as various Debian and Fedora distributions. It stems from improper validation of data received from RDP servers via static virtual channels. A successful, high-complexity attack requires a user to connect to a malicious RDP server, which could then send specially-crafted PDUs to disclose memory contents of the guacd process. While there is no known active exploitation or public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), the vulnerability has garnered some community discussion and media coverage.
