Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedImproper access control in the user interface in Devolutions Workspace 2024.1.0 and earlier allows an authenticated user to perform unintended actions via specific permissions
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceImproper access control in Devolutions Workspace's user interface allows authenticated users to perform unintended actions beyond their assigned permission scope, effectively bypassing intended permission boundaries in the UI layer.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Devolutions Workspace installationLocate and check the installed version of Devolutions Workspace on the system. This can typically be found in the application itself (Help > About), or via system package managers, installed programs list, or the application executable's version properties.Affected if The installed version cannot be determined or the application is not found.
-
Compare installed version against vulnerable rangeCompare the identified version number to the affected range: versions prior to 2024.1.1.0 are vulnerable. The exact version can be found in the application's UI under Help > About, or by checking the executable properties.Affected if The installed version is lower than 2024.1.1.0 (for example, 2024.1.0, 2023.x, or earlier releases).
-
Verify user authentication is in useConfirm that Devolutions Workspace is configured with user authentication and permission-based access controls enabled. This vulnerability affects authenticated users within the permission system.Affected if The application uses authenticated user accounts with defined permission scopes.
If Devolutions Workspace version is lower than 2024.1.1.0 and the application uses authenticated user accounts, the environment is affected by this access control bypass vulnerability.
