CVE-2026-12162
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 host validation in the social login autofill feature in Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager 2026.2.8 allows an attacker to disclose stored social login credentials via a crafted web entry pointing to a provider lookalike domain.
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 confidenceDevolutions Remote Desktop Manager 2026.2.8 contains improper host validation in its social login autofill feature. The application autofills stored social login credentials without properly verifying that the target web entry's domain matches the legitimate provider's domain, allowing attackers to use crafted lookalike domains to steal credentials.

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.
-
Check Remote Desktop Manager versionOpen the application and navigate to Help > About, or check the installed version through your system's program list (Add/Remove Programs on Windows, Applications folder on macOS). Compare the version number to the affected range.Affected if The installed version is below 2026.2.9.0
-
Identify social login web entriesOpen the application and browse to your saved web entries. Look for entries configured with social login providers such as Google, Microsoft, Facebook, GitHub, or similar OAuth-based authentication methods.Affected if Social login web entries exist in your saved entries list
-
Inspect stored credentials for web entriesRight-click on social login web entries and view their properties or credential storage settings. Check if login credentials are saved or configured for autofill.Affected if Social login web entries have stored credentials or autofill enabled
-
Review entry domain configurationExamine the URL or domain field of each social login web entry. Note whether the configured domain matches the legitimate provider domain (e.g., google.com, microsoft.com, github.com).Affected if Social login entries point to domains that do not exactly match the legitimate provider domain, or if lookalike domains are present
You are affected if you have Remote Desktop Manager version below 2026.2.9.0 AND have social login credentials stored in web entries, regardless of whether those entries use legitimate or lookalike domains.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped2026.2.9.0
Implement strict host validation to verify that the destination domain exactly matches the expected social login provider's domain before autofilling credentials. Consider implementing domain allow-listing and certificate validation.
2026.2.9.0
- Back up your current Remote Desktop Manager configuration and data before upgrading
- Download Remote Desktop Manager version 2026.2.9.0 from the official Devolutions website (https://devolutions.net/remote-desktop-manager)
- Install or upgrade to version 2026.2.9.0 using the standard installation process
- Verify the installation completed successfully and the application runs without errors
- Test that the social login autofill feature now properly validates host domains before autofilling credentials
