Remote command execution via unquoted elevation username
Published Jun 15, 2026 · Updated Jun 16, 2026
Command injection in Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager 2026.2.7 allows remote authenticated users to run commands on SSH hosts. SSH Elevate Shell places a crafted, unquoted alternate username into the remote elevation command instead of safely delimiting it. Exploitation requires permission to create or modify a shared SSH entry and interaction with Elevate Shell; injected commands run with stored elevation credentials.
