DescriptionCVE.org

Improper control of generation of code ('Code Injection') in the settings feature in Devolutions PowerShell Universal 2026.2.3 and earlier allows an authenticated user with settings management permission to execute arbitrary PowerShell code via a crafted setting value that is not properly escaped when written to the settings configuration file.

AnalysisAI

Code injection in Devolutions PowerShell Universal 2026.2.3 and earlier allows any authenticated user granted settings management permissions to execute arbitrary PowerShell within the platform runtime. The vulnerability arises because setting values submitted through the settings interface are not properly escaped before being written to the configuration file, which is subsequently parsed and interpreted as executable code. …
