We've previously, publicly and privately, analysed vulnerabilities in various ‘Backup and Replication’ platforms, including those offered by Veeam and NAKIVO - both of which have struggled to avoid scrutiny and in some cases, even opting to patch issues silently.

However, we’re glad to see that sense prevails - kudos to NAKIVO for acknowledging CVE-2024-48248 from our previous research and publicly responding to a new XXE vulnerability (CVE-2025-32406).

Backup and Replication solutions have become prime targets for ransomware operators for logical reasons — Veeam, for instance, has already seen widespread exploitation in the wild.
