CVE-2024-49387

Sensitive-data exposure via acep-collector cleartext transmission

Published Oct 15, 2024 · Updated Oct 15, 2024

Cleartext transmission in the acep-collector service in Acronis Cyber Protect 16 before build 38690 allows attackers to read sensitive data. The service sends sensitive information without transport encryption, but Acronis has not disclosed the affected protocol or data fields. Exploitation requires adjacent-network access, high complexity, and user interaction; the reported consequences are disclosure and limited data modification.
