alt Hacker NewsIn the windows world, you connect to a server using RDP. I thought this would be implied. RDP is a mean to connect to a remote host and, from there, execute code. Hence, code execution.

What on earth are you talking about? RDP and AD are pretty much orthogonal to each other. You can use an AD account to connect to a domain-joined remote server over RDP, but at that point you're just... logging into a machine, same as any other remote protocol. You prevent bad actors from doing this by not giving them permissions to log in to that server. To call this "code execution" is really odd. Remote code execution as a vulnerability almost always refers to an unintentional behavior in software that allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code as part of that process. Referring to a user logging into a machine with the appropriate permissions and running software as "code execution" is not typical, and is not a vulnerability in any normal sense of the term.
