Detection & IOCs extracted from sources · hover to see the quote

• → Exploit targets Veeam Backup & Replication version 13.0.1.180 and all earlier version 13 builds; presence of this version on a host indicates a vulnerable target ↗
• → Exploitation requires the attacker to hold the Backup Operator or Tape Operator role; monitor for unexpected privilege assignments to these roles in Veeam ↗
• → Successful exploitation results in code execution as the postgres OS/DB user; alert on unexpected processes or commands spawned by the postgres user on Veeam backup servers ↗
• → Attack vector involves sending a malicious interval or order parameter to the Veeam service; inspect API/network traffic to Veeam for anomalous or unsanitized interval/order parameter values ↗

• · Exploitability is limited to authenticated users holding the Backup or Tape Operator roles, which Veeam considers highly privileged; unauthenticated exploitation is not possible ↗
• · Following Veeam's recommended Security Guidelines reduces exploitability; patched version 13.0.1.1071 (released January 6) fully remediates the vulnerability ↗
