CVE-2013-1430: n/a xrdp before 0.9.1 vulnerability

CVE-2013-1430: An issue was discovered in xrdp before 0.9.1.

An issue was discovered in xrdp before 0.9.1. When successfully logging in using RDP into an xrdp session, the file ~/.vnc/sesman_${username}_passwd is created. Its content is the equivalent of the user's cleartext password, DES encrypted with a known key.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Older xrdp versions can leave a password-equivalent file in a user’s home directory after successful RDP login. Because it is DES encrypted with a known key, it should be treated as recoverable credential material, not protected password storage. Exposure is limited to systems running xrdp before 0.9.1 where users logged in through xrdp. Risk is higher when local users, backups, or compromised processes can read user home directories. Prioritize remediation where xrdp is used on multi-user systems, internet-reachable hosts, or privileged administrator workstations. This is credential exposure, not just configuration hygiene. Mitigation focus: Upgrade xrdp to 0.9.1 or later, or the fixed distro package.; Follow Debian, upstream, or operating-system vendor guidance for supported packages.; Rotate passwords for users who logged into affected xrdp sessions..
