Critical RCE vulnerability in Veeam Backup & Replication 12.x allows authenticated domain users to compromise the backup server.
Vulnerability
A critical vulnerability exists in Veeam Backup & Replication versions 12.3.2.4465 and all earlier version 12 builds, allowing for remote code execution on the Backup Server. This vulnerability does not affect version 13.x due to architectural changes. Unsupported product versions are also likely affected [1].
