CVE-2025-4316Network attack vector

Privileged access via PAM request self-approval

Published May 5, 2025 · Updated May 14, 2025

Improper access control in affected Devolutions Server releases allows remote authenticated users to self-approve PAM requests. The PAM request workflow accepts a requester's approval through specific user interface actions without enforcing the configured prohibition on self-approval. A PAM account is required, and exploitation bypasses an administrator's approval policy to obtain the requested privileged access.
