ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus 7001 Fixes RCE and Authentication Bypass
Tech GuruQuick Answer
The authority published CVE-2026-74849 for ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus builds 7000 and earlier. ManageEngine disclosed unauthenticated code execution as SYSTEM from the Windows logon-screen GINA client and an unauthenticated REST API authorization bypass. The vendor states that both are corrected in build 7001. Affected deployments should be matched to the authority's exact scope and moved to the supported fixed release.
Confirm Scope And Apply The Supported Fix
What to do now: Inventory ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus builds 7000 and earlier, match the exact affected release or feature, apply the authority-supported fixed build or service remediation, validate the dependent workflow, and preserve evidence.

What Changed
ManageEngine disclosed unauthenticated code execution as SYSTEM from the Windows logon-screen GINA client and an unauthenticated REST API authorization bypass. The vendor states that both are corrected in build 7001.
What To Validate Now
- Inventory. Locate ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus builds 7000 and earlier deployments, versions, enabled features, exposure paths, owners, and dependent services.
- Establish applicability. Compare each deployment with the authority's affected-version statement: ADSelfService Plus builds 7000 and earlier, including the GINA logon-screen client and REST API authorization paths. Do not infer applicability from product family or severity alone.
- Remediate. Apply ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus build 7001 or later through the supported vendor or project channel, following the current advisory and change-control requirements.
- Validate. Confirm the resulting version or managed-service state, exercise representative functionality and recovery paths, monitor for regressions, and document exceptions.
- Retain evidence. Preserve asset and owner identifiers, the applicability decision, before-and-after versions, change approval, installation output, validation results, and any exception or rollback record.
Operational Cautions
Use the exact supported release stream and repository. Test dependencies, clusters, integrations, and rollback before broad deployment; a CVSS rating or reachable feature is not evidence of exploitation.
Evidence To Retain
- Exact product, release stream, package or application version, enabled feature, environment, and accountable owner.
- UTC timestamps, authority revision, approved change record, installer or package-manager output, and resulting version.
- Relevant logs and monitoring evidence, test results, exceptions, compensating controls, and rollback decisions.
