CVE-2026-19768Network attack vectorHinoki check available

Authenticated PowerShell execution via unescaped settings values

Published Aug 14, 2026 · Updated Aug 14, 2026

Code injection in Devolutions PowerShell Universal 2026.2.3 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary PowerShell code. The settings feature writes crafted setting values into its PowerShell configuration file without properly escaping code-significant content. Settings management permission is required; successful exploitation grants the application service account's filesystem and process privileges.
