Critical Alert: Addressing Veeam Vulnerabilities to Protect Your Network

Your Business Solutions is issuing an urgent warning about two critical vulnerabilities in Veeam’s Service Provider Console (VSPC). These vulnerabilities, if left unaddressed, could allow attackers to gain control of the VSPC server, potentially compromising your network and data backups.

Details of the Veeam Vulnerabilities

1. CVE-2024-42448
  • Severity: 9.9/10

1. CVE-2024-42449
  • Severity: 7.1/10
  • This flaw allows attackers to steal NTLM hashes, providing unauthorized access to servers where the Veeam management agent is authorized.
