CVE-2024-53911Network attack vector

Authenticated code execution via unsafe remoting deserialization

Published Nov 24, 2024 · Updated Nov 26, 2024

Unsafe deserialization in Veritas Enterprise Vault before 15.2 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code. Server services accept crafted untrusted data on dynamic .NET Remoting TCP endpoints and deserialize it as a remoting command. Exploitation requires a valid same-forest domain account, Remote Desktop Users membership on a network VM, and knowledge and reachability of the target process IDs, ports, and object URIs.
