MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an authenticated Devolutions Server account that has been granted the general Edit permission but specifically lacks the Edit asset permission; the attacker must then issue a crafted direct request to the partial-save endpoint rather than using the normal UI, which enforces the permission. Limiting factors: a valid authenticated session is mandatory (PR:L), the action is confined to modifying an asset contact password (partial integrity impact only, no data disclosure or availability loss), and fixed versions 2026.3.10 and later remove the flaw. There is no user-interaction requirement and no non-default configuration dependency beyond the specific permission split. |
| Impact | All signals converge on this being a LOW real-world priority. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N, base 4.3 Medium) describes a network-reachable but privilege-dependent flaw with only partial integrity impact and no confidentiality or availability effect. SSVC reinforces this: Exploitation=none (no observed activity), Automatable=no, Technical Impact=partial - a textbook 'Track' rather than 'Act' outcome. There is no CISA KEV listing, so this is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' No EPSS score was provided in the input, so probabilistic exploitation likelihood cannot be quantified; the absence of EPSS is a data gap, not a risk indicator. The PR:L requirement means an attacker must already hold an authenticated account with general Edit rights, substantially narrowing the threat population to existing insiders or attackers who have already compromised a limited account. The signals are mutually consistent - there is no CVSS-vs-description conflict here - so this is a genuine low-to-medium authorization weakness suited to routine patching, not an emergency. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated Devolutions Server user who holds general Edit permission but has NOT been granted the specific Edit asset permission crafts a direct HTTP request to the partial-save endpoint, bypassing the UI's authorization checks to alter an asset contact's password. No public exploit code or active exploitation is known; the low attack complexity (AC:L) means a knowledgeable insider could reproduce it reliably, but it still requires a pre-existing valid account. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 16, 2026
Improper access control in Devolutions Server 2026.3.8.0 and earlier lets an authenticated remote user who has only the general Edit permission - but who was explicitly not granted the Edit asset permission - change an asset's stored contact password by issuing a crafted request straight to the partial-save endpoint, skipping the UI-level authorization check (CWE-863). The consequence is confined to partial integrity loss (CVSS 4.3, AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N, C:N/I:L/A:N): no data disclosure or availability impact, and the attacker must already hold a valid account with Edit rights, so this is not a privilege-escalation path to full administrative control. No KEV listing, no active exploitation and no public exploit code were identified at time of analysis, and SSVC/EPSS-style signals (Exploitation: none, Automatable: no, Technical Impact: partial) place this at low real-world priority; the flaw is fixed in 2026.3.10.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Devolutions Server to 2026.3.10 or later - the fix version given by the vendor advisory DEVO-2026-0036 (https://devolutions.net/security/advisories/DEVO-2026-0036/) - which restores the asset-level authorization check on the partial-save endpoint; patch status is 'Vendor-released patch: 2026.3.10'. If immediate upgrade is not possible, apply compensating controls targeted at the permission split this flaw abuses: audit all roles that carry the general Edit permission but not Edit asset, and remove the general Edit grant from any account whose duties do not require editing, accepting the trade-off that those users lose all other editing workflows they currently rely on. Where a broad Edit role is organisationally required, tighten compensating governance instead - review Devolutions Server audit logs for asset-contact-password changes and for direct POST traffic to the partial-save endpoint that does not correspond to normal form usage, and alert on those events, understanding that log review is detective only and cannot prevent the modification. Blanket network filtering or disabling of the partial-save endpoint is not a viable workaround because the endpoint serves ordinary UI form saves and blocking it would break legitimate asset editing for all users; the durable answer remains upgrading to 2026.3.10 or later.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Devolutions Server is an on-premises privileged access management and credential-vaulting product in which assets (servers, devices, services) can carry associated 'contact' records, including stored passwords. The vulnerability class is CWE-863, Incorrect Authorization, rather than authentication bypass: the application authenticates the caller normally, but the partial-save endpoint - a server-side route used for incremental form saves - validates only the coarse-grained general Edit permission and never re-checks the finer-grained Edit asset permission that the rendered UI enforces. Because the UI is merely a client-side filter, any holder of the weaker permission can reach the same handler directly with a hand-crafted request and mutate the asset contact password field. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:devolutions:server:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms the affected component is the Devolutions Server application itself across the wildcarded version range; the EUVD record narrows the affected span to Server versions from 0 up to (but excluding) 2026.3.10, matching the vendor's 2026.3.8.0-and-earlier statement. The CVSS vector PR:L confirms authentication is required, UI:N confirms no victim interaction is needed, and S:U with I:L confirms the impact stays inside the same security authority and touches only integrity of a single credential field.
