MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation targets the Acronis Cyber Infrastructure (ACI) management/API layer where authorization checks are improperly enforced; per the vendor vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) no authentication, user interaction, or special non-default configuration is documented as required, so default-configured instances reachable over the network appear exploitable. The primary limiting factor is deployment exposure: ACI management interfaces are typically on restricted management networks rather than the public internet, and the affected builds are bounded to versions before 6.0.1-112, 6.1.1-64, and 6.2.1-71. Note the CWE-863 classification normally implies some pre-existing access, which is in tension with PR:N and should be verified against the advisory. |
| Impact | This is a genuine high-priority issue, though several real-world signals are absent. The vendor-supplied CVSS:3.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N, base 9.1) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw requiring no privileges or user interaction, yielding high confidentiality and integrity impact - matching the CWE-863 'improper authorization' root cause and the 'Authentication Bypass' tag. However, there is a conceptual tension worth verifying: CWE-863 (incorrect authorization) typically presumes an authenticated-but-under-privileged actor, yet the vendor scored PR:N and tagged it 'Authentication Bypass', implying no credentials are needed - this discrepancy should be confirmed against the Acronis advisory. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC were provided, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active or automatable exploitation; the 9.1 is a theoretical-severity signal rather than a demonstrated-exploitation signal. Net: treat as a serious patch-soon item for ACI operators given the unauthenticated network vector, but it is not (yet) a confirmed in-the-wild emergency. Note also the vector is CVSS 3.0, not 3.1. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote attacker reaches the ACI management interface over the network and issues requests that the improper authorization logic fails to restrict, allowing them to read sensitive data and modify resources they should not control. No public proof-of-concept is available, but per the CVSS vector the attack is low-complexity and requires no authentication or user interaction, so a working request could be crafted directly from the advisory once details are known. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026
Acronis Cyber Infrastructure (ACI) does not properly enforce authorization in its management/API layer, letting remote attackers disclose sensitive information and manipulate protected resources (CVSS 9.1, AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, C:H/I:H). The vendor vector specifies PR:N, so no authentication, user interaction, or special configuration is documented as required; exposure is mainly bounded by whether the ACI management interface is reachable from untrusted networks. Affected deployments are those running builds earlier than 6.0.1-112, 6.1.1-64, and 6.2.1-71. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV entry were identified at time of analysis, so active exploitation is not confirmed.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade to the fixed build for your release branch - 6.0.1-112 for 6.0.x, 6.1.1-64 for 6.1.x, or 6.2.1-71 for 6.2.x - as documented in Acronis advisory SEC-8128 (https://security-advisory.acronis.com/advisories/SEC-8128); builds below those thresholds are the vulnerable ones. Until the upgrade is complete, the highest-value compensating control is to stop exposing the ACI management/API interface to untrusted networks: place it on a management VLAN or behind a VPN-only jump host and block inbound management/API ports at the perimeter, with the trade-off of losing direct remote administration and adding operator latency. If a reverse proxy or WAF fronts the API, enforce strict authorization/session validation and alert on anomalous object access, accepting that this detects rather than prevents abuse. Reduce ACI accounts to least privilege, rotate credentials and API tokens issued before the upgrade as a precaution, and monitor SEC-8128 for any revision clarifying the PR:N versus CWE-863 authentication prerequisite.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The root cause class is CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization): an authorization decision is reached but applied incorrectly, so a caller can reach objects or operations it should be denied. In ACI the affected surface is the management/API layer, which gates requests touching cluster, storage, and tenant objects; a faulty check there yields high confidentiality (C:H) and integrity (I:H) impact with no availability effect (A:N). CPE data identifies the affected package as acronis:acronis_cyber_infrastructure across three version branches (6.0.x, 6.1.x, 6.2.x) rather than three distinct products. One analytical caveat: CWE-863 usually implies some pre-existing low-privileged access, which is in tension with the vendor's PR:N vector, so the authentication prerequisite should be re-confirmed against the SEC-8128 advisory before assuming a wholly unauthenticated network attacker is sufficient.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Sensitive information disclosure and manipulation due to improper authorization checks. The following products are affected: Acronis Cyber Infrastructure (ACI) before build 6.0.1-112, Acronis Cyber Infrastructure (ACI) before build 6.1.1-64, Acronis Cyber Infrastructure (ACI) before build 6.2.1-71.
Executive ViewAI
Acronis Cyber Infrastructure contains a critical authorization weakness in its management/API layer that could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to disclose sensitive information and manipulate protected resources. Organizations running affected ACI builds earlier than 6.0.1-112, 6.1.1-64, or 6.2.1-71 should treat any exposed management interface as high risk because this is a control-plane issue affecting confidentiality and integrity. No public exploit code or CISA KEV entry was identified at time of analysis, but leadership should care because a reachable management interface could expose backup and storage infrastructure while no vendor-released patch is available.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Restrict ACI management/API access to trusted networks or VPN, remove internet exposure, enforce least privilege and strong authentication, segment management traffic, monitor authorization/configuration logs, and use an API gateway or WAF as an interim control.

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.
