FKIE_CVE-2024-40717
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2024-12-04 02:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 07:46
Severity
Summary
A vulnerability in Veeam Backup & Replication allows a low-privileged user with certain roles to perform remote code execution (RCE) by updating existing jobs. These jobs can be configured to run pre- and post-scripts, which can be located on a network share and are executed with elevated privileges by default. The user can update a job and schedule it to run almost immediately, allowing arbitrary code execution on the server.

Estos trabajos se pueden configurar para ejecutar scripts previos y posteriores, que pueden estar ubicados en un recurso compartido de red y se ejecutan con privilegios elevados de forma predeterminada.
