CVE-2025-27917
HighCVSS 7.5Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk43th percentile - higher than 43% of all known CVEs
Summary
An issue was discovered in AnyDesk for Windows before 9.0.5, AnyDesk for macOS before 9.0.1, AnyDesk for Linux before 7.0.0, AnyDesk for iOS before 7.1.2, and AnyDesk for Android before 8.0.0. Remote Denial of Service can occur because of incorrect deserialization that results in failed memory allocation and a NULL pointer dereference.
Risk Assessment
The vulnerability allows remote crashing of the AnyDesk application, which can disrupt remote support sessions and user productivity. It could be exploited to deliberately paralyze remote access within an organization.
Recommendation
Update AnyDesk to the latest version on all platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android). Additionally, monitor for unusual connection attempts and enforce security policies for remote access.
Other vulnerabilities in AnyDesk
See all- CVE-2026-109390Critical
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.
- CVE-2025-27918Critical
AnyDesk for Windows before 9.0.5, macOS before 9.0.1, Linux before 7.0.0, iOS before 7.1.2, and Android before 8.0.0 has an integer overflow and resultant heap-based buffer overflow via a UDP packet during processing of an Identity user image within the Discovery feature, or when establishing a connection between any two clients.
- CVE-2017-14397Critical
AnyDesk before 3.6.1 on Windows has a DLL injection vulnerability.
- CVE-2026-15682Medium
A vulnerability in AnyDesk allows a local attacker to cause a denial-of-service (DoS) condition by abusing the 'Send Support Information' feature. The attack requires prior low-privileged code execution on the target system.
- CVE-2026-15681Medium
A vulnerability in AnyDesk allows a local attacker to cause a denial-of-service (DoS) condition by manipulating screen recording files. The attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system.
- CVE-2016-20094High
AnyDesk version 2.5.0 contains an unquoted service path vulnerability that allows local users to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges by exploiting the service installation. Attackers can insert malicious executables in the system root path that execute with elevated privileges during application startup or system reboot.
- CVE-2025-34499Medium
AnyDesk 7.0.15 and 9.0.1 contains an unquoted service path vulnerability that allows local non-privileged users to potentially execute code with elevated SYSTEM privileges. Attackers can inject malicious executables that will run with high-level system permissions.
- CVE-2025-27919High
In AnyDesk through 9.0.4, a remotely connected user with the "Control my device" permission can manipulate remote AnyDesk settings and create a password for the Full Access profile without confirmation from the counterparty. The attacker can then connect later without that confirmation.
- CVE-2025-27916High
An issue was discovered in AnyDesk for Windows before 9.0.6 and AnyDesk for Android before 8.0.0. When the connection between two clients is established via an IP address, data can be manipulated and the AnyDesk ID spoofed.
- CVE-2022-32450High
AnyDesk 7.0.9 allows a local user to gain SYSTEM privileges via a symbolic link. The user can write to their own %APPDATA% folder (used for ad.trace and chat), but the product runs as SYSTEM when writing chat-room data there.
