CVE-2026-127063 is a critical-severity use of default credentials vulnerability in RMM+ from DataComm, with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.3 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. Affected RMM+ versions: All extension versions. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.38% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.
What to do
- Check which version of RMM+ you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description
The third-party RMM+ extension for ConnectWise ScreenConnect uses a static API secret by default. The value can be changed by an administrator; however, environments retaining the default value may allow unauthorized access to extension API functionality, including the ability to send commands to managed agents. This issue is specific to the third-party extension and does not affect the ScreenConnect server or client. Scope: This issue affects the third-party RMM+ extension for ConnectWise ScreenConnect. Deployments without the extension are not affected. ScreenConnect server or client software are not impacted.

The underlying weakness: Use of Default Credentials
The product uses default credentials (such as passwords or cryptographic keys) for potentially critical functionality.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Prohibit use of default, hard-coded, or other values that do not vary for each installation of the product - especially for separate organizations.
- Force the administrator to change the credential upon installation.
- The product administrator could change the defaults upon installation or during operation.
Timeline
- CVE record published.
- CISA published its SSVC assessment (exploitation: none, automatable: yes, technical impact: total).
- Record last changed materially (score, affected products, status or references).
