Local information disclosure via insecure folder permissions
Published Feb 13, 2023 · Updated Mar 21, 2025
Incorrect folder permissions in Acronis Agent before build 30161 and Cyber Protect 15 before build 30984 allow local users to read sensitive data. Affected product folders grant unauthorized filesystem access, but Acronis has not identified the folders, permission entries, or exposed files. Exploitation requires a low-privileged local user and user interaction, and the reported consequence is limited to sensitive-information disclosure.
