Security News > 2024 > June > Exploit for critical Veeam auth bypass available, patch now
A proof-of-concept exploit for a Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager authentication bypass flaw tracked as CVE-2024-29849 is now publicly available, making it urgent that admins apply the latest security updates.
Veeam issued a security bulletin about the critical flaw on May 21, warning about a critical vulnerability enabling remote unauthenticated attackers to log in to VBEM's web interface as any user.
The exploit involves sending a specially crafted VMware single-sign-on token to the vulnerable service using the Veeam API. The token contains an authentication request that impersonates an administrator user and an SSO service URL that Veeam, crucially, doesn't verify.
The provided exploit demonstrates all the steps to exploit the vulnerability, including setting up a callback server, sending the crafted token, and retrieving a list of file servers as proof of successful exploitation.
