No EUVD known-exploited evidence

Insufficient verification of data authenticity in the IronVNC client in Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager 2026.2.17.0 and earlier, 2026.1.24.0 and earlier, allows an on-path attacker to intercept and tamper with VNC sessions via automatic acceptance of the server's RSA key during RSA-AES authentication.

01

What, why and how

Insufficient verification of data authenticity in the IronVNC client in Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager 2026.2.17.0 and earlier, 2026.1.24.0 and earlier, allows an on-path attacker to intercept and tamper with VNC sessions via automatic acceptance of the server's RSA key during RSA-AES authentication.

What

Insufficient verification of data authenticity in the IronVNC client in Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager 2026.2.17.0 and earlier, 2026.1.24.0 and earlier, allows an on-path attacker to intercept and tamper with VNC sessions via automatic acceptance of the server's RSA key during RSA-AES authentication.

Why

The product does not sufficiently verify the origin or authenticity of data, in a way that causes it to accept invalid data.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation without authentication after a user interaction. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path
a network path → Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity → cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor

Weakness
?CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness.
CWE-345 ↗

CWE-345: Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity. The product does not sufficiently verify the origin or authenticity of data, in a way that causes it to accept invalid data.

CVSS vector
?CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity.
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N

Common Vulnerability Scoring System 3.1: the compact vector below is decoded into plain language.

AVNetworkAttack vector: The vulnerable component can be reached over a network.ACLowAttack complexity: No specialised conditions are required beyond attacker-controlled input.PRNonePrivileges required: The attacker does not need an account or existing privileges.UIRequiredUser interaction: Another user must perform an action for exploitation to succeed.SUnchangedScope: The security impact remains within the vulnerable component's authority.CNoneConfidentiality impact: No direct loss is represented by this metric.ILowIntegrity impact: A successful attack can cause a limited loss.ANoneAvailability impact: No direct loss is represented by this metric.
Post-exploitation / living off the land
No specific living-off-the-land technique is confirmed in the structured sources. Monitor normal administration tools for activity inconsistent with the affected service's baseline.
