CVE-2026-111374: FreeRDP from 3.30.0 before 3.32.0 Resource Exhaustion via rdpecam StartStreamsRequest
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 24/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.30% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
- Fixed version: FreeRDP FreeRDP 3.32.0.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to FreeRDP FreeRDP 3.32.0 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
FreeRDP from 3.30.0 before 3.32.0 contains a resource exhaustion vulnerability in the rdpecam client that lets malicious RDP servers request unadvertised camera media types. Attackers can send a StartStreamsRequest with oversized dimensions to force large pending-sample allocations and reconfigure the local camera through the HAL.
