Exploitation Conditions

The vulnerability is triggered when a victim follows a crafted login link that includes a manipulated redirect parameter in the Devolutions Server external authentication provider flow - meaning the external authentication feature (OAuth/OIDC/SAML federation) must be configured and in use. Exploitation is limited by two concrete prerequisites: first, the victim must click the attacker-supplied link (UI:R), which requires successful social engineering; second, the attack complexity is rated high (AC:H), meaning the attacker must precisely understand the login flow URL structure to craft a valid malicious link. Deployments of Devolutions Server that do not use external authentication providers and instead rely solely on local authentication are not affected by this specific flaw. There is no privilege requirement for the attacker - the link is exploitable before the victim authenticates.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L) yields a 5.0 base score reflecting network reachability and lack of required privileges, offset by high attack complexity and mandatory user interaction. The I:L and A:L components in the vendor-supplied vector appear inflated for a pure open-redirect class flaw - open redirects classically carry no direct integrity or availability impact; this discrepancy should be verified against the vendor advisory at DEVO-2026-0013. EPSS at 0.05% (16th percentile) confirms very low current exploitation probability. SSVC signals reinforce this: exploitation status is none, the attack is not automatable (requires social engineering to deliver the crafted link to a specific victim), and technical impact is only partial. Despite the modest raw scores, the deployment context materially elevates risk: Devolutions Server manages privileged credentials and remote access sessions, so a successful phishing redirect targeting an administrator could yield access to high-value infrastructure far beyond the immediate low-impact CVSS metrics suggest. No KEV listing and no POC code have been identified.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker targeting a Devolutions Server administrator crafts a login URL that includes a tampered redirect parameter pointing to a credential-harvesting site mimicking the organization's internal portal. The link is delivered via a spearphishing email referencing a plausible session expiry notice. The victim authenticates successfully against the legitimate Devolutions Server, which then issues an HTTP redirect to the attacker's domain, where the victim unknowingly submits credentials or continues a session handshake that the attacker captures. No public exploit code exists at time of analysis, but the attack technique is well-understood and requires no specialized tooling.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 23, 2026

Open redirect in Devolutions Server's external authentication provider flow allows unauthenticated remote attackers to redirect victims to attacker-controlled domains by embedding a crafted redirect parameter in a login link. Affected versions span 2026.1.6.0-2026.1.16.0 and all 2025.3.x releases through 2025.3.20.0, covering a significant window of recent deployments. No public exploit code exists and CISA KEV confirms no active exploitation, though the privileged-access-management context elevates the phishing risk beyond what the raw CVSS 5.0 score suggests.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to a Devolutions Server version released after 2026.1.16.0 (for the 2026.1.x branch) or after 2025.3.20.0 (for the 2025.3.x branch); the exact patched release version is not specified in available data and must be confirmed via the vendor advisory at https://devolutions.net/security/advisories/DEVO-2026-0013/. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, a targeted compensating control is to restrict which external identity providers are permitted in the Devolutions Server configuration and to block or proxy outbound redirects at the perimeter - this reduces the attacker's ability to redirect to arbitrary domains but may affect legitimate federated authentication flows. Additionally, user awareness for administrators: advise them to inspect login URLs before authenticating, particularly any redirect or returnUrl parameter pointing outside the corporate domain. Generic network-level controls such as URL filtering can reduce redirect success but will not eliminate the underlying flaw.

Technical ContextAI · show details

CWE-601 (URL Redirection to Untrusted Site) describes a failure to validate user-supplied URL parameters before issuing an HTTP redirect. In Devolutions Server, the vulnerability resides specifically in the external authentication provider flow - the code path that handles OAuth 2.0, OIDC, or SAML federation handshakes. During these flows, a redirect_uri or post-login destination parameter is passed in the login link. Improper validation allows an attacker to substitute an arbitrary external domain that the server will honor without whitelist enforcement. The affected product is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:devolutions:server:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* and is a Privileged Access Management (PAM) platform, meaning the sessions it brokers are high-value targets. Because the redirect occurs after authentication, credentials or session tokens established against the legitimate server could be exposed to or harvested by the destination attacker domain.
