CVE-2026-119636 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-03

Devolutions Server is a privileged access management system that controls and audits administrative accounts across an organization's infrastructure. An authenticated user with permission to check out privileged accounts can retain access to those accounts even after their checkout period expires, if there are 21 or more other active checkouts queued. This allows a user to maintain unauthorized access to critical systems beyond their intended timeframe.

## Technical details

The PAM scheduled check-in task fails to properly release expired privileged account checkouts when a backlog of 21 or more newer active checkouts exists, preventing the expired checkout from being revoked and its password from being rotated. This is a logic flaw in the checkout lifecycle management that requires the attacker to already have checkout rights on the target account and allows them to retain credentials indefinitely until the backlog clears.
