AnyDesk released version 8.0.3 for AnyDesk Linux, closing a pre-authentication RCE path before the exploit became public. The June fix was treated as a generic bug fix in the changelog, with no CVE and no formal security advisory attached. Administrators should move affected Linux systems to 8.0.3 or later because the underlying flaw could expose systems to root access over direct connections.
