CVE-2026-5146 Devolutions CVE debrief
## Summary Devolutions Server contains an improper access control vulnerability (CWE-862) in its notification management endpoints. An unauthenticated attacker can modify or delete arbitrary user notification records due to missing session validation. The vulnerability affects Devolutions Server 2026.1.6.0 through 2026.1.15.0 and all versions through 2025.3.19.0. ## Technical Details The vulnerability exists in the notification management endpoints where session validation is not properly enforced. This allows unauthenticated attackers to interact with user notification records without authentication. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) indicates network-based attack vector with low attack complexity, requiring low privileges, with no user interaction needed. The confidentiality impact is low, with no integrity or availability impact. ## Affected Versions - Devolutions Server 2026.1.6.0 through 2026.1.15.0 - Devolutions Server 2025.3.19.0 and earlier ## Remediation Devolutions has released security advisory DEVO-2026-0012 addressing this issue. Organizations should upgrade to: - Devolutions Server 2025.3.20.0 or later (for 2025.x branch) - Devolutions Server 2026.1.16.0 or later (for 2026.x branch) ## Timeline - **2026-05-12**: CVE published and initial disclosure - **2026-05-26**: CVE record modified
