MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Execution, Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires (1) a valid authenticated domain user account - the CVSS vector's PR:L confirms authentication is needed, so this is not exploitable by fully unauthenticated attackers; and (2) network reachability of the Veeam Management Pack for Microsoft System Center Collector service, meaning only hosts running that Collector role are affected. The vulnerable deserialization path (CWE-502) exists in Management Pack for Microsoft System Center versions 9.0 through below 13.1.0.334; version 13.1.0.334 and later are not affected. Limiting factors: the domain-authentication requirement and the fact that only the Collector service (a specific component, not every Veeam or SCOM install) is exploitable reduce the exposed population; no user interaction is required (UI:N) and attack complexity is low (AC:L), so once an attacker has domain credentials and network access to the Collector, exploitation is straightforward. The exact crafted-input trigger is not described in the available sources. |
| Impact | This is a credible, near-term priority rather than inflated-CVSS noise, but it is not a drop-everything emergency on current signals. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity attack needing only low privileges - consistent with the description's 'authenticated domain user' - yielding full high impact to confidentiality, integrity and availability (VC:H/VI:H/VA:H) because code runs as LocalSystem. The CWE-502 deserialization class is historically reliable to exploit once reachable, which supports the 8.7 severity. However, the input provides NO EPSS score and NO CISA KEV listing, so there is no quantitative exploitation-probability or active-exploitation signal to corroborate the severity. No confirmed public exploit is present either; 'Reported by: hackerone' identifies the disclosure channel, not a published PoC. The vuln.today Decision label is 'this_week' (not act_now/emergency), which aligns with a serious but authentication-gated flaw. Net: treat as a prompt-patch item because the PR:L barrier (any valid domain account) is low in most enterprise environments, while noting that the absence of EPSS/KEV/PoC evidence means exploitation likelihood is currently unquantified rather than confirmed low. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who already holds any valid domain user account reaches the Veeam Management Pack Collector service over the network and submits a crafted serialized object that the service deserializes unsafely (CWE-502). Because the service runs as LocalSystem, successful deserialization yields remote code execution at the highest local privilege, giving full control of the monitoring server. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis, so this scenario is derived from the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) and the stated deserialization weakness rather than from observed exploit code. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 29, 2026
Remote code execution as LocalSystem in the Veeam Management Pack for Microsoft System Center Collector service lets any authenticated domain user who can reach the Collector over the network run arbitrary code at the highest local privilege level on the host. Only the Collector role is affected, and only in Management Pack versions 9.0 through below 13.1.0.334; the CVSS vector (PR:L, AC:L, UI:N) confirms a low-complexity path that needs a valid domain account but no user interaction. Veeam has released a fixed build (13.1.0.334) and the issue is tracked as a this-week priority, but no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis and there is no CISA KEV entry.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade Veeam Management Pack for Microsoft System Center to 13.1.0.334 or later, following the instructions in Veeam KB4961 (https://www.veeam.com/kb4961); builds from 13.1.0.334 onward are outside the affected range. Until the Collector hosts are updated, the exposure is bounded by the two exploitation prerequisites: an attacker needs a valid domain account and network reachability to the Collector service, so restricting which network segments and which domain principals can reach that service on Collector-role servers shrinks the attack surface - with the trade-off that collectors legitimately queried by SCOM management infrastructure must remain reachable from those sources, and over-tightening breaks data collection. Deploying the fix first on Collector servers reachable from lower-trust or broad user networks reduces the window in which an ordinary domain user could elevate to LocalSystem.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The root cause is CWE-502, deserialization of untrusted data, inside the Collector component of Veeam Management Pack for Microsoft System Center - the piece that gathers data from Microsoft SCOM and feeds it to the management pack. Because the Collector service runs as LocalSystem, any object graph an attacker can smuggle through a deserialization sink executes with full local machine privileges, which is why the confidentiality, integrity and availability impact is uniformly high even though the attacker only holds ordinary domain credentials. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:veeam:management_pack_for_microsoft_system_center pins the exposure to that product line, and EUVD places affected builds at 9.0 up to but excluding 13.1.0.334. The specific crafted input and the exact deserialization entry point are not described in the available sources, so the precise trigger remains unverified; what is confirmed is the privilege level reached (LocalSystem) and the authentication prerequisite (domain user, per PR:L).

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability allowing an authenticated domain user to perform remote code execution (RCE) as the LocalSystem account on servers running the Veeam Management Pack for Microsoft System Center Collector service.
Executive ViewAI
Veeam Management Pack for Microsoft System Center versions 9.0 through 13.1.0.334 contain a high-severity remote code execution vulnerability in the Collector service, allowing any authenticated domain user with network access to the Collector to execute arbitrary code at LocalSystem privilege on the host. This puts critical infrastructure at risk: domain users-including potentially compromised accounts-could gain full control of the Collector server, leading to data exposure, lateral movement, and service disruption. Leadership should care because the Collector often holds privileged access to System Center environments and could be a stepping stone to broader network compromise.

Attack Technique
Insecure deserialization occurs when an application converts serialized data (a stream of bytes representing an object's state) back into a living object without proper validation.
Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
