| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an authenticated session on Acronis Cyber Protect 17 (Linux or Windows) at a build before 42587 (PR:L), reached over the network (AV:N) without user interaction (UI:N). The improper authorization check (CWE-639) lets an authorized account access sensitive information outside its permitted scope. Limiting factors: the attacker must already hold valid low-privilege credentials, the vendor rates attack complexity as High (AC:H) indicating the trigger is not trivially reliable, and impact is confined to limited confidentiality disclosure (C:L) with no integrity or availability effect. The exact feature, endpoint, or key that must be manipulated is not described in the available sources. The vendor fix is build 42587; updating is the remediation stated in the advisory. |
| Impact | This is a low-priority issue across all available signals, not a high-CVSS-but-low-real-risk mismatch - the CVSS base score itself is only 3.1 (Low). The vendor-supplied CVSS:3.0 vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) describes a network-reachable but high-complexity flaw that requires some level of privilege (PR:L, i.e. authenticated) and yields only limited confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability effect, consistent with CWE-639 (improper authorization / sensitive information disclosure). The vuln.today Decision label is 'monitor', the weakest urgency tier, and there is no KEV listing, no EPSS value supplied, and no exploit or PoC reference in the input. There is therefore no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation; the convergence of a low base score, AC:H, PR:L, limited C-only impact, and a 'monitor' decision all point the same direction, with no conflicting signals. The main caveat is missing data rather than conflict: no EPSS probability, no independent (non-vendor) analysis, and the sole reference is the Acronis advisory, so the assessment rests entirely on vendor-reported metrics. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated but low-privileged user of an Acronis Cyber Protect 17 deployment manipulates a user-controlled identifier or request parameter so the server returns data belonging to another user or scope it should not expose, under conditions the vendor rates as high-complexity. No public exploit or PoC is identified, and the specific trigger is not described in the available sources. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 28, 2026
Acronis Cyber Protect 17 builds before 42587 contain an improper authorization flaw (CWE-639) that lets an authenticated low-privilege account read sensitive information outside its permitted scope on Linux and Windows installations. The vendor rates the issue Low severity (CVSS 3.1) with High attack complexity and confined confidentiality impact, and no public exploit was identified at time of analysis; priority is monitor.
RemediationAI
Acronis states that updating is the remediation: upgrade Acronis Cyber Protect 17 on Linux and Windows to build 42587 or later, and confirm the installed build number after upgrading. The vendor advisory at https://security-advisory.acronis.com/advisories/SEC-6066 (SEC-6066) is the source for the fixed build and for any platform-specific installation notes. No separate workaround or compensating control is described in the available sources; because the flaw requires only a valid low-privilege session, reducing the number of accounts holding such credentials limits exposure until the update is applied, but that is not a substitute for the vendor fix. No public exploit was identified at time of analysis and the assigned priority is monitor, so scheduling the upgrade through normal patch management is consistent with the Low severity rating.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The root cause class is CWE-639, Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key, the pattern commonly called insecure direct object reference: an authorization decision is made against a key supplied by the requester rather than against the requester's actual entitlements, so a valid session can reach records or data belonging to another scope. The affected package is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:acronis:acronis_cyber_protect_17:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering Acronis Cyber Protect 17 on Linux and Windows below build 42587. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) shows the flaw is reachable over the network by an account that already holds valid low-privilege credentials, with no user interaction, High attack complexity, and impact limited to partial confidentiality loss with no integrity or availability effect. The specific feature, endpoint, or object key that must be manipulated, and the precise conditions behind the High complexity rating, are not described in the available sources; the trigger is not described in the available sources.

Attack Technique
Authentication bypass attacks exploit flaws in the verification mechanisms that control access to systems and applications.
Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
