CVE-2023-41748

Authenticated command execution via improperly validated input

Published Aug 31, 2023 · Updated Oct 1, 2024

Improper input validation in Acronis Cloud Manager for Windows before 6.2.23089.203 allows remote authenticated users to execute commands. Acronis has not identified the affected component, input field, or validation failure that passes attacker-controlled data to command execution. Exploitation requires low-privileged access from an adjacent network and grants command execution with confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.
