DescriptionCVE.org
This vulnerability allows a Backup or Tape Operator to write files as root.
AnalysisAI
Veeam allows Backup or Tape Operators to write files as root on the server. An operator-level role achieving root file write is a severe privilege escalation with scope change.
Technical ContextAI
Operators can exploit the file handling mechanism (CWE-200) to write files with root ownership. Root file write enables cron jobs, SSH authorized_keys, or system binary replacement for persistent root access.
RemediationAI
Apply Veeam patches. Audit operator-level account activity.
