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 · unedited
Improper access control in PAM JIT elevation in Devolutions Server 2024.1.6 and earlier allows an attacker with access to the PAM JIT elevation feature to elevate themselves to unauthorized groups via a specially crafted request.

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 · high confidence

Improper access control in the PAM Just-In-Time (JIT) elevation feature of Devolutions Server versions 2024.1.6 and earlier allows authenticated users with access to the PAM JIT feature to submit specially crafted requests that bypass authorization checks, enabling elevation to unauthorized privilege groups.

MitigationUpgrade Devolutions Server to a version newer than 2024.1.6. Prior to upgrade, restrict access to the PAM JIT elevation feature to only essential personnel and monitor for suspicious elevation requests.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify installed Devolutions Server version
    Check the product version through the Devolutions Server administration console or by inspecting the installation directory for version metadata. Common locations include the 'about' section in the web interface or the server's configuration files.
    Affected if The installed version is 2024.1.6 or earlier (versions prior to 2024.1.8.0 are affected).
  2. Determine if PAM JIT feature is enabled
    Access the Devolutions Server administration panel and navigate to the PAM (Privileged Access Management) configuration section. Look for the Just-In-Time (JIT) elevation feature settings to confirm whether it is currently active.
    Affected if PAM JIT elevation feature is enabled and configured for use.
  3. Review PAM JIT user access assignments
    In the PAM module, examine the user or group assignments that grant access to the JIT elevation feature. Identify which authenticated users or roles have permission to request JIT elevations.
    Affected if Non-administrative or unauthorized user accounts have been granted access to the PAM JIT feature.
  4. Audit recent PAM JIT elevation requests
    Review the Devolutions Server audit logs or security logs for PAM JIT elevation requests. Look for elevation requests occurring outside of normal operational patterns or requests that resulted in privilege escalation.
    Affected if There are elevation requests in the logs that show unexpected privilege group changes or unauthorized elevation attempts.

A user is affected if they are running Devolutions Server version 2024.1.6 or earlier with the PAM JIT feature enabled and accessible to users who should not have elevation privileges.
