CVE-2023-41746

Authenticated command execution via improper input validation

Published Aug 31, 2023 · Updated Oct 1, 2024

Improper input validation in Acronis Cloud Manager before 6.2.23089.203 allows remote authenticated users to execute commands via crafted input. Acronis has not disclosed the affected component, input field, or validation error that passes attacker-controlled data to command execution. The published assessment requires low privileges and adjacent-network access; successful exploitation provides code execution on the Windows host.
