An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) when an attacker logs on to the target system using RDP and sends specially crafted data over the authenticated connection. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could execute code with elevated privileges. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
