CVE-2024-45204Network attack vector

Saved NTLM hash disclosure via insufficient authorization

Published Dec 4, 2024 · Updated Dec 6, 2024

Incorrect authorization in Veeam Backup & Replication 12.2 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to leak saved NTLM hashes. Veeam identifies insufficient permission checks in backup-server credential handling but does not disclose the affected method or request sequence. A network-authenticated Viewer or Operator role is required; the bounded consequence is disclosure of saved credential hashes across the managed environment.
