A malicious RDP server can exhaust the counter with VERIFY APDUs, then request a new SCardConnect to reset attempts, enabling unbounded online brute-forcing of the configured smartcard PIN.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-10-13T13:27:15.776+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-13T16:43:58.209+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"FreeRDP","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"vendor\": \"FreeRDP\",\n                    \"product\": \"FreeRDP\",\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\",\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"3.0.0\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"3.32.0\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"3.32.0\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 4.0","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","score":7.1,"severity":"HIGH"},{"system":"CVSS 3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","score":6.5,"severity":"MEDIUM"}],"references":["https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/security/advisories/GHSA-chh2-527f-x255","https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/freerdp-3.0.0-before-3.32.0-pin-brute-force-via-virtual-smartcard"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-109949","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-109949","identifiers":["CVE-2026-109949"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
