Security News > 2022 > December > CISA Alert: Veeam Backup and Replication Vulnerabilities Being Exploited in Attacks
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has added two vulnerabilities impacting Veeam Backup & Replication software to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, citing evidence of active exploitation in the wild.
"The Veeam Distribution Service allows unauthenticated users to access internal API functions," Veeam noted in an advisory published in March 2022.
Both the issues that impact product versions 9.5, 10, and 11 have been addressed in versions 10a and 11a.
Users of Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 are advised to upgrade to a supported version.
"We believe that these vulnerabilities will be exploited in real attacks and will put many organizations at significant risk," Petrov said on March 16, 2022.
Details on the attacks exploiting these vulnerabilities are unknown as yet, but cybersecurity company CloudSEK disclosed in October that it observed multiple threat actors advertising a "Fully weaponized tool for remote code execution" that abuse the two flaws.
