Description
This vulnerability allows a Backup Administrator to perform remote code execution (RCE) as the postgres user by sending a malicious password parameter.
Analysis
Veeam allows Backup Administrators to execute code as postgres via a malicious password parameter. Scope change means OS-level compromise from application-level admin access.
Technical Context
A Backup Administrator can inject commands through the password parameter (CWE-77) that execute as the postgres user. The scope change indicates breaking out of the Veeam application to database-level code execution.
Affected Products
Veeam Backup & Replication
Remediation
Apply Veeam patches. Restrict admin access.
