What is CVE-2026-30789?

The RustDesk Client suffers from an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows attackers to reuse session IDs, enabling unauthorized access to user sessions. This issue affects all platforms including Windows, MacOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, and is tied to weaknesses in the peer authentication and client login modules. Specifically, vulnerabilities in the hash_password() routine and session proof construction can be exploited to bypass authentication mechanisms, increasing the risk of session hijacking.

Affected Version(s)

RustDesk Client Windows 0 <= 1.4.8
