New Veeam vulnerability exposes backup servers to RCE attacks
Veeam has issued security updates to address a critical vulnerability in its Backup & Replication software. The flaw, which can be exploited to achieve remote code execution (RCE) on domain-joined backup servers, poses a significant risk to enterprise backup environments. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to gain full control over the backup server, potentially leading to data theft, ransomware deployment, or destruction of backups. The vulnerability affects multiple versions of Veeam Backup & Replication, and users are strongly advised to apply the latest patches immediately. No further technical details have been disclosed to allow time for patching.
Unpatched backup servers can be hijacked, allowing attackers to destroy or encrypt backups, crippling recovery.
