CVE-2026-40139 is a critical pre-authentication vulnerability in the authentication subsystem of BeyondTrust Remote Support. The flaw is caused by improper processing of authentication requests, which can allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to bypass access controls and obtain unauthorized access to the appliance. Available reporting indicates exploitation is dependent on a specific authentication configuration being enabled. In the worst case, successful exploitation can expose accounts with elevated privileges and provide unauthorized access to systems managed through the appliance.
