Man-in-the-middle interception via disabled TLS verification
Published Mar 20, 2026 · Updated Mar 20, 2026
Improper certificate validation in Devolutions Server before 2026.1 allows remote attackers to intercept PAM WinRM propagation traffic. The PAM propagation client disables TLS certificate verification for WinRM connections, accepting an untrusted endpoint rather than authenticating its certificate. An attacker must obtain a network position on a configured PAM propagation path; successful interception exposes and permits modification of the WinRM exchange.
