ConnectWise warns of new ScreenConnect flaw without patch

ConnectWise warns of an unpatched ScreenConnect flaw affecting file transfer in support sessions and shares interim mitigations for MSPs.

ConnectWise disclosed a new ScreenConnect Remote Access vulnerability affecting file transfer behavior in both cloud and on-premises deployments; no CVE ID or patch is available yet, with a fix planned later this week. The vendor published temporary mitigation steps that remove TransferFiles permissions from session groups across all roles. Shadowserver tracks nearly 6,000 internet-exposed ScreenConnect instances. Previous ScreenConnect flaws, including CVE-2024-1709, were exploited by ransomware gangs and North Korea's Kimsuky, and three ScreenConnect vulnerabilities are on CISA's actively exploited catalog.

  • Authentication Bypass in ConnectWise ScreenConnect Creates Rogue Admin Accounts
    ConnectWise ScreenConnect (ConnectWise Control), a widely used remote-access and remote-monitoring tool, contains an authentication bypass (CWE-288) in its management interface. An attacker needs only network access to the management interface to trigger the flaw, with no valid credentials or user interaction required. A successful attacker gains administrative control of the ScreenConnect server by creating a new administrator-level account, providing a foothold that has already been used in ransomware campaigns against downstream managed environments. Any organization running ConnectWise ScreenConnect is affected, especially managed service providers and IT teams whose management interface is reachable from the internet; the source data specifies affected products but no version ranges. Exploitation is confirmed and urgent: CISA added the flaw to the KEV on 2024-02-22 with known ransomware use, EPSS assigns a 100% probability of exploitation within 30 days, and ConnectWise warned that no patch was available at the time of disclosure.

  • ViewState Code Injection in ConnectWise ScreenConnect May Lead to RCE
    ConnectWise ScreenConnect versions 25.2.3 and earlier rely on ASP.NET Web Forms ViewState, whose integrity depends on machine keys; if an attacker with privileged system-level access obtains those keys, they can craft and send a malicious ViewState that the server deserializes, potentially resulting in remote code execution. The risk stems from platform-level ASP.NET behavior rather than a defect introduced by ScreenConnect, and the ScreenConnect Client is not directly impacted, though the CVSS vector (PR:H) confirms exploitation requires already having high privileges on the host. An attacker who achieves this gains code execution on the server with the confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact reflected in the 7.2 High score. ScreenConnect 2025.4 mitigates the issue by disabling ViewState entirely and removing any dependency on it. The flaw was added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2025-06-02, indicating confirmed exploitation in the wild, with EPSS estimating a 3.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days (88th percentile).

  • A condition in the ScreenConnect server component may allow an actor with access to server-level cryptographic material used for authentication to obtain unauth
    A condition in the ScreenConnect server component may allow an actor with access to server-level cryptographic material used for authentication to obtain unauthorized access, including elevated privileges, in certain scenarios. ScreenConnect host and guest client agents are not independently affected by this CVE.
