Summary

CVE-2026-64624 is a high-severity Argument Injection (CWE-88) vulnerability in Freerdp Freerdp. Its CVSS base score is 8.5 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked at the 8th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing can discover argument-injection flaws in command-construction code but does not stop their introduction.

Input validation directly stops construction of command strings containing unneutralized delimiters or injected arguments.

prevents

Secure development lifecycle mandates input validation and command construction practices that directly prevent argument injection.

prevents

Application security requirements include explicit rules for safe command-line argument handling and escaping.

prevents

Secure architecture principles discourage unsafe command invocation patterns and favor safer APIs.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly require proper neutralization of command arguments, directly eliminating CWE-88.

finds

Security testing can detect argument injection but does not prevent it at the source.
