Authenticated command execution via missing cvlaunchd authorization
Published Sep 8, 2026 · Updated Sep 9, 2026
Missing authorization in cvlaunchd in Commvault Cloud allows remote authenticated users to execute commands over the network. The launch daemon fails to enforce command-execution authorization before accepting a privileged command request; Commvault has not disclosed the affected request path or omitted check. Low-privileged access and additional attack conditions are required, and successful exploitation compromises data confidentiality, integrity, and availability on the vulnerable system.
