Authenticated privilege escalation via account spoofing
Published Dec 7, 2022 · Updated Apr 23, 2025
Privilege escalation in Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager 2022.3.13 through 2022.3.24 allows remote authenticated users to spoof privileged accounts. The flaw resides in the Azure SQL Data Source, but Devolutions has not published the operation that accepts or misuses attacker-controlled data. Exploitation requires an authenticated account and access to an Azure SQL-backed data source; successful abuse grants another account’s privileges.
