Great piece of research by Erik Forsberg and his team. However, this

vulnerability does NOT affect Remote Desktop Web connection (aka TSAC),

when used with SSL. This is because the RDP web client would rely on the

Server-Side SSL cert to prove the authenticity of the server, making MTM

attacks "virtually" impossible.

Anyway, if you're deploying RDP and are worried about this exploit,

try running it over SSL. More information can be found at:
