NVD description

AnyDesk before 8.0.3 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a heap-based buffer overflow, as demonstrated on Linux for command execution as root without the victim approving desktop control. In the stream packet handler for mode 5 in the session protocol, a payload length value is not validated.

    🚨 AnyDesk Linux pre-auth RCE as root (CVE-2026-109390, CVSS 9.8). Public "AnyPwn" PoC is out. Versions 8.0.0 to 8.0.2 are affected. An integer wrap in the mode-5 packet handler causes a heap overflow on TCP/7070, with no auth and no user click needed. AnyDesk fixed it quietly in 8.0.3 in June and described it only as a "crash fix." Researchers say it can also be reached through AnyDesk's relays. Upgrade to 8.0.3+ now. Until you can, block inbound 7070. Look for repeated anydesk crashes, child processes spawned by AnyDesk, and /tmp/anypwn. Full Advisory in comments

    AnyDeskに、認証なしで突かれる脆弱性(CVE-2026-109390)が見つかって、実証コードまで出てるらしい。6月の8.0.3で修正済みなので、リモート保守で使ってる会社はバージョンだけ確認しとこう。

    AnyDesk fixed pre-auth root execution on Linux in June and called it “a bug that could lead to a crash.” The CVE landed today, four days after a working exploit went public. No exploitation reported. https://severitydaily.com/anydesk-cve-2026-109390-pre-auth-root-linux-8-0-3-changelog-a-bug-that-could-lead-to-a-crash/
