Technical details
An improper validation of specified quantity (CWE-1284) exists in the Host Pass creation functionality of ConnectWise ScreenConnect. Authenticated users with Host Pass creation privileges can bypass server-side validation to specify a token expiration duration that exceeds the intended maximum limit. This allows for the generation of delegated access tokens with an extended lifetime, potentially granting prolonged access to remote hosts beyond administrative intent. The vulnerability is reachable over the network but requires high privileges (PR:H) to exploit. The issue is resolved in version 26.2.
