CVE-2024-40717

A vulnerability in Veeam Backup & Replication allows a low-privileged user with certain roles to perform remote code execution (RCE) by updating existing jobs. These jobs can be configured to run pre- and post-scripts, which can be located on a network share and are executed with elevated privileges by default. The user can update a job and schedule it to run almost immediately, allowing arbitrary code execution on the server.

Summary		(es) Una vulnerabilidad en Veeam Backup & Replication permite que un usuario con pocos privilegios y determinados roles realice una ejecución remota de código (RCE) mediante la actualización de trabajos existentes. Estos trabajos se pueden configurar para ejecutar scripts previos y posteriores, que pueden estar ubicados en un recurso compartido de red y se ejecutan con privilegios elevados de forma predeterminada. El usuario puede actualizar un trabajo y programarlo para que se ejecute casi de inmediato, lo que permite la ejecución de código arbitrario en el servidor.
