Server: Authentication Bypass by Primary Weakness
CVE-2026-9047 is a high-severity authentication bypass by primary weakness vulnerability in Server from Devolutions, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.6 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an attacker with a low-privileged account, but only if a user takes part, for example by opening a link or file. Affected Server versions: 2026.1.6.0 through 2026.1.16.0. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.32% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update Devolutions Server to 2026.1.19.0 or a later version.
- Read the advisory on devolutions.net for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
- Because the attack needs a user to take part, warn users about unexpected links and files related to this product until it is patched.

Official description
Improper handling of factor key state in the multi-factor authentication management feature in Devolutions Server allows an attacker with knowledge of a user's password to bypass the user's multi-factor authentication after the user reconfigures their factors. This issue affects : * Devolutions Server 2026.1.6.0 through 2026.1.16.0

The underlying weakness: Authentication Bypass by Primary Weakness
The authentication algorithm is sound, but the implemented mechanism can be bypassed as the result of a separate weakness that is primary to the authentication error.
