MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Persistence The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the attacker to be an authenticated organization-transfer peer of the target, and the organization-transfer functionality must be in use on the source Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 server - this is the concrete precondition reflected by PR:L (authenticated) and AT:P (attack requirement present) in the CVSS 4.0 vector. Affected deployments are Backup for Microsoft 365 8.0 through 8.5.0.1014. The limiting factor is that an anonymous or merely network-adjacent attacker cannot reach the flaw; a legitimate organization-transfer peer relationship is needed, which narrows exploitation to configured multi-tenant/transfer scenarios rather than default standalone installations. |
| Impact | This is a genuine high-priority issue, not an inflated high-CVSS score. The CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.0 reflects network reach (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), only low privileges (PR:L), no user interaction (UI:N), full high impact on both the vulnerable system (VC:H/VI:H/VA:H) and subsequent systems (SC:H/SI:H/SA:H) - consistent with SQL injection (CWE-89) that yields cross-tenant configuration read/write and remote code execution as the PostgreSQL service account. The vuln.today decision label is act_now, which signals urgent remediation. However, several exploitation signals are absent: no EPSS probability is provided, the CVE is not listed in CISA KEV, and the references (Veeam KB4957 and the NVD/EUVD advisory) contain no proof-of-concept - so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The one tempering factor is AT:P (Attack Requirements: Present): exploitation is not against arbitrary users but requires the attacker to hold an authenticated organization-transfer peer relationship, so the realistic threat population is other tenants/peers participating in organization transfer rather than anonymous internet attackers. Net: treat as act_now per the decision label given the critical technical impact and multi-tenant blast radius, while noting that active exploitation is not confirmed and the privilege/peer precondition narrows who can attack. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who already holds authenticated organization-transfer peer access to a Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 server injects crafted SQL through the organization-transfer path into the source server's PostgreSQL configuration database. Because the injection runs in the database service context, the attacker reads and modifies other tenants' configuration data and achieves remote code execution as the PostgreSQL service account. No public exploit code was identified in the provided sources. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 28, 2026
SQL injection in Veeam M365 Backup 8.0 through 8.5.0.1014 lets an authenticated organization-transfer peer inject into the configuration database, enabling cross-tenant read and write of configuration data and remote code execution as the PostgreSQL service account. The issue is rated act_now, but exploitation requires a legitimate organization-transfer peer relationship and use of organization-transfer functionality, which limits exposure to configured multi-tenant/transfer scenarios rather than default standalone installations. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Veeam advisory KB4957 (https://www.veeam.com/kb4957) is the primary remediation reference for Backup for Microsoft 365 8.0 through 8.5.0.1014; apply the fixed build it identifies, since the supplied data does not specify an exact patched version. If an immediate update is not possible, disable organization-transfer functionality or restrict configured organization-transfer peers to explicitly trusted servers, accepting that this breaks or blocks legitimate transfers while it is in place; this directly addresses the authenticated-peer and active-transfer preconditions. Continue monitoring the PostgreSQL configuration database and transfer logs for unexpected cross-tenant reads or writes.

Technical ContextAI · show details
CWE-89 SQL injection is the root cause: input from an organization-transfer peer reaches SQL statements used against the Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 configuration database without adequate neutralization, allowing the peer to read and write configuration data across tenants and to execute code in the context of the PostgreSQL service account. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:veeam:backup_for_microsoft_365:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, and EUVD lists Backup for Microsoft 365 8.0 through 8.5.0.1014. The CVSS 4.0 vector is AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/S:C with a base score of 9.0; PR:L and AT:P match the independent assessment that the attacker must be an authenticated organization-transfer peer and the organization-transfer feature must be in use on the source server. The independent CVSS 3.1 assessment is AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H, reflecting that an anonymous or merely network-adjacent attacker cannot reach the flaw without a configured transfer-peer relationship.

DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability allowing an authenticated organization-transfer peer to inject SQL into the configuration database of the source Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 server, leading to cross-tenant read and write of configuration data and remote code execution as the PostgreSQL service account.

Executive ViewAI
A critical vulnerability in Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 (versions 8.0 through 8.5.0.1014) allows an authenticated organization-transfer peer to execute SQL injection, potentially enabling cross-tenant data exposure and remote code execution. This affects only organizations using multi-tenant or organization-transfer configurations, and successful exploitation requires a legitimate peer relationship, limiting exposure to those specific scenarios. No public exploit has been identified, but the severity warrants immediate attention for affected deployments.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include: restrict organization-transfer functionality to only essential trusted peers, enforce strong authentication and authorization for peer connections, segment backup infrastructure to limit lateral movement, and monitor configuration database activity for signs of SQL injection or unauthorized access.
