NoMachine makes available new version 8 packages to fix a possible escalation of privileges on Windows, due to hardcoded paths in some binaries. It also solves some issues affecting previous versions and, in the case of connections by SSH protocol, it adds support for GSSAPI key exchange to confirm server's identity. Some third party libraries have been updated to most recent versions, like openssl 3.0.16, httpd-2.4.63, libssh2 1.11.1 and ffmpeg-7.1. The complete list is available in the CREDITS file online at https://www.nomachine.com/licensing/credits-version-8.

TR04W11314 - Possible privileges escalation by exploiting some hardcoded paths on Windows
