CVE-2026-115829
HighCVSS 8.7Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk24th percentile - higher than 24% of all known CVEs
Summary
In Secret Server versions earlier than 12.3.1, a user could bypass the initial login step and authenticate by successfully negotiating only the second factor login step. The vulnerability bypasses the first authentication factor.
Risk Assessment
A user could gain system access without providing the first factor, weakening authentication security and potentially leading to unauthorized access.
Recommendation
Update Secret Server to version 12.3.1 or later, which fixes the bypass of the initial login step.
