CVE-2026-16798: CWE-201 Insertion of sensitive information into sent data in Devolutions PowerShell Universal
Insertion of sensitive information into sent data in the automation jobs API in Devolutions PowerShell Universal 2026.2.2 and earlier allows an authenticated user with scoped job or script read permission to obtain another user's stored OAuth refresh token via job read responses that fail to strip the refresh token.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves the insertion of sensitive information into sent data within the automation jobs API of Devolutions PowerShell Universal versions 2026.2.2 and earlier. An authenticated user who has scoped job or script read permissions can exploit this flaw to obtain OAuth refresh tokens belonging to other users. The root cause is the failure to strip the refresh token from job read responses, leading to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive credentials.
Potential Impact
The impact is unauthorized disclosure of OAuth refresh tokens, which could allow an attacker with read permissions to impersonate other users or access resources on their behalf. This compromises user confidentiality and potentially leads to further unauthorized actions within the affected environment.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict read permissions to trusted users only and monitor for unusual access patterns involving the automation jobs API.
