Cleartext storage of sensitive information in the variables feature in Devolutions PowerShell Universal 2026.2.2 and earlier allows a local actor with file system access to read secret values via secret variables stored in cleartext on disk when no vault is selected.
AnalysisAI
Information disclosure in Devolutions PowerShell Universal 2026.2.2 and earlier allows a local attacker with file system access to read secret variable values stored in cleartext on disk. This occurs when the variables feature is used without selecting a vault for encryption. The vulnerability is not known to be actively exploited, and EPSS indicates a very low exploitation probability (0.08%).
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability affects the variables feature of Devolutions PowerShell Universal, a web-based PowerShell automation and management platform. When a user configures secret variables without selecting a secrets vault, the application stores those values in cleartext on the local file system. This behavior corresponds to CWE-312 (Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information), as sensitive data is persisted without encryption. The affected component is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:devolutions:powershell_universal:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*.
RemediationAI
Apply the vendor-supplied patch by upgrading to Devolutions PowerShell Universal version 2026.2.3 or later. The fix ensures that secret variables are no longer stored in cleartext when no vault is configured. As a workaround, always select a vault for storing secrets in the variables feature to enforce encryption. Additionally, restrict file system permissions to prevent unauthorized local users from accessing PowerShell Universal’s data directories. Refer to the vendor advisory DEVO-2026-0025 for detailed guidance.
