Security researchers have released a full working exploit for a pre-authentication remote code execution (RCE) flaw in AnyDesk Linux. This vulnerability allows attackers to gain root access without requiring connection approval. Although AnyDesk patched the flaw in version 8.0.3, the original changelog vaguely described it as a ‘crash fix’ without assigning a CVE, potentially leaving many users unaware of the critical security implications. The public exploit increases the urgency for all AnyDesk Linux users to update immediately.
