Vulnerability Data

xrdp is an open source RDP server. Versions 0.10.6 and prior contain a timing side-channel vulnerability in the login interface. Due to a discrepancy in response processing times, a remote attacker can infer the existence of a username on the…

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1087.001 Local Account Discovery
Adversaries may attempt to get a listing of local system accounts.
T1087.002 Domain Account Discovery
Adversaries may attempt to get a listing of domain accounts.
Why these techniques?

Timing side-channel in RDP login directly enables remote username enumeration, mapping to account discovery of local or domain accounts.

detects

Security testing can detect observable response discrepancies before deployment.

mitigates

Network security controls can enforce uniform responses and suppress observable discrepancies.

prevents

Secure SDLC practices include error-handling and response standardization to avoid information disclosure.

prevents

Application security requirements typically mandate consistent, non-revealing error messages.

prevents

Secure architecture principles discourage designs that leak internal state via differing responses.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly require uniform error handling to prevent information leakage.
