CVE-2026-115828: Delinea Secret Server FIDO2 PIN/biometric validation bypass

CVE-2026-115828 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-30

Secret Server is a password vault that stores and controls access to privileged credentials across enterprise systems. Versions before 12.3.1 fail to properly validate PIN or biometric checks on FIDO2 security keys, allowing an attacker with physical access to a FIDO2 device to potentially bypass the additional authentication layer intended to protect stored secrets.

Technologies: Delinea Secret Server. Vendors: Delinea.

Technical details

The vulnerability is an authentication bypass in Secret Server's FIDO2 device integration where PIN or biometric validation is not consistently enforced. An attacker with access to a FIDO2-compliant security key could potentially authenticate without providing the required PIN or biometric check, reducing the security of the multi-factor authentication mechanism. This requires physical possession of the FIDO2 device and affects versions prior to 12.3.1.
