Summary
Improper Authentication vulnerability in Delinea Inc. Secret Server On-Prem (RPC Password Rotation modules).This issue affects Secret Server On-Prem: 11.8.1, 11.9.6, 11.9.25. A secret with "change password on check in" enabled automatically checks in even when the password change fails after reaching its retry limit.
