AI Analysis

Impact

A vulnerability in Veeam:One allows an unauthenticated network attacker to coerce SMB authentication from the service account, effectively bypassing authentication controls. The attacker can obtain privileged SMB credentials and thereby gain unauthorized access to files or services that rely on those credentials. The weakness is a classic authentication bypass (CWE‑288).

Affected Systems

Veeam:One products are affected; no specific version information is available in the advisory.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.3 marks this a high‑severity flaw. EPSS is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is a network‑based attack against SMB, requiring the target to expose an SMB interface controlled by Veeam:One. An attacker can trigger the coercion without prior authentication, making exploitation straightforward if the service is reachable.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest vendor patch for Veeam:One that addresses the SMB authentication issue.
  • Disable or restrict SMB exposure on affected hosts, allowing access only from trusted IP ranges via firewall or ACLs.
  • Enable auditing and monitor logs for anomalous SMB authentication requests to detect potential exploitation attempts.
