+Windows hosts with an assigned visible username/password Credential Vault entry
+show an RDP icon in the Hosts table. Clicking it calls
+`POST /api/hosts/:id/rdp-session`, opens a same-origin `/rdp/:token`
+tab, and renders a browser RDP canvas through `mstsc.js`. The browser receives
+only a short-lived opaque launch token; POSHManager resolves the host address

+- Browser RDP sessions use `mstsc.js` with short-lived POSHManager launch tokens; host passwords stay in the API process and are never embedded in the Vue app or launch URL. The upstream `mstsc.js` dependency is legacy and currently brings transitive npm audit findings, so expose `/rdp` only through authenticated POSHManager/reverse-proxy paths and restrict network access to trusted operators.
 - Request logs redact authorization and cookie headers.
 - Protected routes use JWT auth.
 - Admin-only APIs are guarded by `requireAdmin`.
