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 session with at least vault read access - unauthenticated exploitation is not possible. The targeted vault entries must be configured as 'sealed', as this is the specific access control mechanism being bypassed. The attacker must craft a specific API request against the entry documentation or attachment endpoint; standard UI interactions do not trigger the bypass. Exploitation is limited to network-accessible Devolutions Server instances; local or air-gapped deployments reduce exposure. SSVC confirms the attack is not automatable, meaning bulk exploitation across many sealed entries would require additional effort per entry. |
| Impact | The official CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N) scores 4.3 Medium but contains an apparent metric inconsistency: the vulnerability description is purely a read/disclosure issue (retrieving documentation and attachments), yet the vector assigns I:L (integrity impact) with C:N (no confidentiality impact). This is likely inverted - the real impact is confidentiality, not integrity. Despite the inconsistency, the score remains 4.3 under either reading. EPSS is 0.03% (8th percentile) and SSVC assigns Exploitation: none and Automatable: no, both confirming minimal real-world exploitation pressure. The threat is realistic only from authenticated insiders or accounts with compromised vault-read credentials - not from external unauthenticated attackers. For PAM environments, however, where sealed entries likely contain high-value credentials or sensitive documentation, the qualitative impact of unauthorized disclosure can substantially exceed what the medium CVSS score implies. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated employee or contractor with standard vault read access crafts a specific API request targeting the documentation or attachment endpoint of a sealed vault entry they are not authorized to view. The server's access control layer validates the vault-level permission but fails to enforce the additional sealed-entry restriction, returning the protected content. No elevated privileges or special tooling are required beyond knowledge of the API structure and a valid session token. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 23, 2026
Improper access control in Devolutions Server exposes documentation and attachments of sealed vault entries to any authenticated user who holds vault read access. Sealed entries are an explicit security boundary intended to restrict access beyond standard vault permissions - this bypass undermines that control entirely via a crafted API request. No public exploit has been identified and SSVC indicates no known exploitation, but the attack requires only low-privilege authentication, making it accessible to any insider or compromised credential with vault read rights.
RemediationAI
The vendor advisory at https://devolutions.net/security/advisories/DEVO-2026-0013/ should be consulted for the confirmed fixed version; based on the affected range (up to 2026.1.16.0), upgrading to Devolutions Server 2026.1.17.0 or later is the indicated remediation, though the exact fix version must be confirmed directly from DEVO-2026-0013 as it was not explicitly stated in available data. As a compensating control prior to patching, administrators should audit which accounts hold vault read access and apply the principle of least privilege - users who do not require access to sensitive vault entries should have their vault permissions revoked or scoped. Additionally, reviewing audit logs for anomalous API requests targeting sealed entry documentation endpoints can help detect prior exploitation. Sealed entries containing the most sensitive credentials should be temporarily migrated to a separate vault with tighter access controls until the patch is applied.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Devolutions Server (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:devolutions:server:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) is an enterprise Privileged Access Management (PAM) platform. Vault entries can be 'sealed', a designation that imposes additional access control beyond standard vault-level permissions. The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): the server-side API endpoints serving entry documentation and attachments fail to enforce the sealed-entry authorization check, allowing the sealed status to be bypassed. The 'Hashicorp' tag suggests possible integration with HashiCorp Vault infrastructure, though the vulnerability itself resides in Devolutions Server's own API layer, not in HashiCorp components.
