Persistent server denial of service via malformed registration
Published Oct 7, 2026 · Updated Oct 7, 2026
Denial of service in Absolute Security Secure Access Server before 14.60 allows remote authenticated users to persistently interrupt the server. The client registration process accepts malformed data, but Absolute has not disclosed the specific parsing or state-handling failure. An authenticated client session is required; the reported impact is persistent loss of server availability, not data access or modification.
