CVE-2026-127063: ConnectWise ScreenConnect RMM+ extension default API secret authentication bypass

CVE-2026-127063 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-12

ConnectWise ScreenConnect's third-party RMM+ extension uses a hardcoded default API secret that allows anyone with knowledge of the default value to bypass authentication and access remote management functionality. An attacker who exploits this can send arbitrary commands to managed systems, potentially leading to ransomware deployment, data theft, or system compromise across an organization's entire managed infrastructure.

Vendors: ConnectWise.

Technical details

The RMM+ extension implements API authentication via a static shared secret that defaults to a known value; attackers can exploit this with network access to send commands to managed agents if the default secret has not been changed. The vulnerability is an authentication bypass due to hardcoded credentials (CWE-1392); cloud deployments are unaffected as ConnectWise has disabled the extension, but on-premises deployments retaining the default configuration are fully exploitable over the network without authentication or user interaction. No fix has been released; disabling the extension is the only mitigation.
