It affected (before patching) all currently-maintained branches, and recently was highlighted by CISA as being exploited-in-the-wild.
This must be the first time real-world attackers have reversed a patch, and reproduced a vulnerability, before some dastardly researchers released a detection artefact generator tool of their own. /s
At watchTowr's core, we're all about identifying and validating ways into organisations - sometimes through vulnerabilities in network border appliances - without requiring such luxuries as credentials or asset lists.
Every sysadmin is familiar with Veeam’s enterprise-oriented backup solution, ‘Veeam Backup & Replication’. Unfortunately, so is every ransomware operator, given it's somewhat 'privileged position' in the storage world of most enterprise's networks. There's no point deploying cryptolocker malware on a target unless you can also deny access to backups, and so, this class of attackers absolutely loves to break this particular software.
With so many eyes focussed on it, then, it is no huge surprise that it has a rich history of CVEs. Today, we're going to look at the latest episode - CVE-2024-40711.
Well, that was a complex vulnerability, requiring a lot of code-reading! We’ve successfully shown how multiple bugs can be chained together to gain RCE in a variety of versions of Veeam Backup & Replication.
We have examined the Windows TCP/IP network stack flaw that could grant adversaries remote access with maximum privileges. Exploiting CVE-2024–38063 does not imply any action on the part of the user…
Progress un-embargoed an authentication bypass vulnerability in Progress MOVEit Transfer.
Many sysadmins may remember last year’s CVE-2023-34362, a cataclysmic vulnerability in Progress MOVEit Transfer that sent ripples through the industry, claiming such high-profile victims as the BBC and FBI. Sensitive data was leaked, and sensitive data was destroyed, as the cl0p ransomware gang leveraged 0days to steal data - and ultimately leaving a trail of mayhem.
