AI Insight
LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.
ScreenConnect allows authenticated users to create delegated access tokens with extended expiration durations due to insufficient input validation.
Vulnerability
In ScreenConnect versions prior to 26.2, insufficient server-side validation of token lifetime constraints allows an authenticated user with Host Pass creation privileges to specify a token expiration duration beyond the intended maximum when generating delegated access tokens [1].
Exploitation
An attacker with authenticated access and Host Pass creation privileges can exploit this vulnerability by generating delegated access tokens with expiration durations exceeding intended limits. This requires no user interaction and can be performed remotely [1].
Impact
Successful exploitation allows delegated access tokens to remain valid longer than intended, potentially leading to unauthorized access or extended compromise of the affected system. The impact includes limited information disclosure, modification, and denial of service [1].
Mitigation
ScreenConnect version 26.2, released April 29, 2026, fully patches this issue. Cloud-hosted ScreenConnect servers have been automatically updated. On-premises installations must be upgraded to version 26.2 or later. Partners using Automate integration should apply the update via the Automate Product Updates page [1].
