Synopsis

The version of Veeam Backup and Replication installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Veeam Backup and Replication installed on the remote Windows host is 12.x prior to 12.3.0.310. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including:

 - A vulnerability allows an authenticated user with a role assigned in the Users and Roles settings on the backup server to execute a script with elevated privileges by configuring it as a pre-job or post-job task, thereby causing the script to be executed as LocalSystem. (RCE). (CVE-2024-40717)

 - A vulnerability allows an authenticated user with a role assigned in the Users and Roles settings on the backup server to access all saved credentials in a human-readable format. (CVE-2024-42452)

 - A vulnerability that allows an authenticated user with a role assigned in the Users and Roles settings on the backup server to gain access to privileged methods and control critical services. (CVE-2024-42456)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Veeam Backup and Replication version 12.3.0.310 or later.
