Insertion of sensitive information into sent data in the AI Agent job API in Devolutions PowerShell Universal 2026.2.0 allows an authenticated user with AI Agent read access to obtain reusable, potentially higher-privileged authentication tokens via App Tokens serialized in plaintext in job API responses.
AnalysisAI
Devolutions PowerShell Universal 2026.2.0 leaks serialized App Tokens in plaintext within AI Agent job API responses, enabling authenticated privilege escalation through token theft and replay. An authenticated user holding only AI Agent read access - a lower-privileged role - can extract reusable App Tokens that may carry significantly higher privileges than their own account, effectively bypassing the intended access control boundary. No public exploit code exists and CISA has not listed this in KEV, but the CVSS C:H rating reflects that successful exploitation yields credentials reusable across the platform.
Technical ContextAI
PowerShell Universal (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:devolutions:powershell_universal:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) is a cross-platform IT automation platform by Devolutions offering REST APIs, dashboards, and job scheduling. Its AI Agent subsystem orchestrates AI-driven automation tasks and exposes a job API for querying job state and results. The root cause is CWE-201 (Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Sent Data): when serializing job API responses, the application includes App Tokens - bearer-style credentials used for programmatic authentication throughout the platform - in plaintext rather than omitting or masking them. Because App Tokens are reusable and may be scoped to highly privileged service accounts or admin roles, their unintended inclusion in a response readable by a lower-privileged user creates a lateral movement and privilege escalation path entirely within the platform's own API surface.
RemediationAI
Apply the vendor-issued fix described in the Devolutions security advisory DEVO-2026-0022 at https://devolutions.net/security/advisories/DEVO-2026-0022/. An exact patched release version is not independently confirmed from the available data, so the advisory must be consulted directly for the precise upgrade target. As an interim compensating control, restrict AI Agent read access to the minimum set of operationally necessary, fully trusted accounts, since exploitation requires this specific role - reducing the number of principals with that role directly reduces exposure. Administrators should also audit App Token usage logs for anomalous API calls that may indicate tokens have already been harvested and replayed, and should rotate all App Tokens that could have been returned by the AI Agent job API. If the AI Agent feature is not operationally required, disabling it entirely eliminates the vulnerable endpoint without affecting other PowerShell Universal capabilities.
