CVE-2025-27919
HighCVSS 8.2Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk25th percentile - higher than 25% of all known CVEs
Summary
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.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can gain persistent access to the victim's device without their knowledge or consent, leading to unauthorized takeover.
Recommendation
Update AnyDesk to a version newer than 9.0.4, verify remote session permissions, and regularly review access profile settings.
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-2025-27917High
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.
- 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.
Original NVD description (English source)
An issue was discovered 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 needing confirmation from the counterparty. Consequently, the attacker can later connect without this counterparty confirmation.
