Commvault’s Backup Blunder: Unpatched Vulnerabilities Unleash RCE Mayhem!
WatchTowr has cracked Commvault’s code with a proof-of-concept exploit chain that’s as dangerous as leaving your front door open. Commvault SaaS users can breathe easy, but everyone else should patch up quickly before hackers RSVP to their systems. This exploit chain is the party crasher of the cybersecurity world.
Hot Take:
Looks like Commvault took the backup business a bit too literally, backing up vulnerabilities as well! WatchTowr dropped a bombshell with a proof-of-concept, proving that these security bugs are more infectious than a toddler’s cold in a daycare. It’s time for Commvault users to stop hitting snooze on those updates and patch up before their servers get more compromised than a politician’s promises!
Key Points:
– Commvault users need to apply patches pronto to avoid two unauthenticated remote code execution bug chains.
– Researchers at watchTowr demonstrated exploits that could turn medium-severity vulnerabilities into a cocktail of chaos.
– The first exploit chain targets unpatched instances with a path traversal bug and argument injection.
– The second chain is a bit more high-maintenance, relying on specific conditions and additional medium-severity vulnerabilities.
– Commvault’s initial response was as lukewarm as yesterday’s coffee, but watchTowr insists the threat is real.
