CVE-2026-4925
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 users MFA feature in Devolutions Server allows an authenticated user to bypass administrator-enforced restrictions and remove their own multi-factor authentication (MFA) configuration via a crafted request. This issue affects Server: from 2026.1.6 through 2026.1.11.
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 Server's MFA feature allows authenticated users to bypass administrator-enforced MFA requirements and remove their own MFA configuration through a crafted request. This is a client-side enforcement vulnerability where server-side validation of admin policies is missing, enabling users to circumvent security controls intended to be mandatory.

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 Server installation and versionLocate the Devolutions Server installation and determine its exact version number. This is typically found in the application itself, or via the program's properties/details in the installation directory.Affected if The installed version falls within >= 2026.1.6.0 and < 2026.1.12.0
-
Confirm MFA feature is configuredVerify whether the MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) feature is enabled and configured for user accounts in the Devolutions Server environment.Affected if MFA is configured and the server version is in the affected range; the vulnerability requires MFA to be present to exploit
-
Check for administrator-enforced MFA policiesReview the server's administrative settings to determine if there are policies mandating MFA for users, which is the specific security control this vulnerability allows bypassing.Affected if Admin MFA enforcement policies exist and the server version is vulnerable; the flaw specifically allows circumvention of mandatory MFA requirements
-
Verify server-side validation of MFA changesIf admin MFA enforcement is configured, test whether the server properly rejects attempts by users to disable MFA or remove their MFA configuration when an administrator has mandated its use.Affected if Server accepts user requests to remove/disable MFA even when admin policy requires it to be mandatory - this indicates the vulnerability is present
A system is affected if it runs Devolutions Server version 2026.1.6.0 through 2026.1.11.x and has MFA configured with administrator-enforced requirements that can be circumvented by user requests.

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 · scoped2026.1.12.0
Update to Devolutions Server version beyond 2026.1.11 when a patch is available, and verify that server-side enforcement properly rejects attempts to disable MFA when an administrator has mandated its use.
2026.1.12.0 or later
- Backup the current Devolutions Server installation and database before proceeding with the upgrade
- Upgrade Devolutions Server to version 2026.1.12.0 or later to address the missing authorization vulnerability
- After upgrade, verify the MFA configuration functions correctly
- Confirm that administrator-enforced MFA restrictions are properly enforced for all users
