#VEEAM LOGIN SOFTWARE#
If you're using any software running on Apache and Java, be aware of this critical zero-day vulnerability. Veeam R&D Forums Digest - THE WORD FROM GOSTEV Veeam have confirmed via the R&D forum and via a KB that none of their products are impacted (thanks making lots of noises since friday for us, a poc was published on github in April (chinese language)įrench Cybersecurity Agency are observing attacks in honeypot infrastructure from Tor too.Īnyway for the veeam part, the answer from Gostev is comfortable: Hopefully Veeam won’t be impacted by this one as it’s honestly one of the scarier vulnerabilities I’ve ever seen due to how widespread this is.įinally, a shout-out to he was going to post about this himself if I hadn’t already! More eyes on these topics is always a good thing and I’m sure he’ll follow up with any insights that I’ve missed! I’ll cross-post any important updates but you can see the thread yourself here. I posted on the Veeam R&D forum this morning regarding Veeam’s vulnerability status regarding this, and thankfully it appears Apache isn’t used by any Veeam product, however the Veeam security team are still investigating. But restricting the footprint is of no substitute for a patch.įinally, if you’re one of those people living on the edge with an externally accessible vCenter, odds are good you’ve already been compromised, get it off the internet now and check! It’s also a good idea to firewall your systems to prevent unauthorised access to limit any attack footprint.
#VEEAM LOGIN PATCH#
This vulnerability isn’t exclusive to VMware.įirstly, keep an eye on this VMware page for the latest updates and patch your systems as updates become available. This is trivial to reproduce now the vulnerability has been confirmed to exist, hence the high score. This can be used to deploy and execute payloads, or execute commands at a heightened privilege level. It is possible to insert maliciously crafted strings into fields that will be logged, which then leverages the “message lookup substitution” function of Log4j to execute code. VMware have identified multiple products that utilise the Apache technology that are vulnerable to the Log4j vulnerability.Ī Remote Code Execution (RCE) has been discovered in Apache’s Log4j Java Library. I don’t often dedicate a blog post to a particular security vulnerability, but since it has scored a perfect 10 CVE rating, it’s important to be aware ASAP. Firstly I’m sharing my write up regarding the issues I’m aware DO have an impact to VMware, secondly what does this mean to the Veeam products… Vulnerabilities wait for no-one, so whilst some are enjoying a weekend off, others are patching to protect against the latest risk.
