Hot Take:

Commvault might not be the vault of security they hoped to be, but hey, at least they’re patching up the holes. It’s like discovering your vault is made of cheese, but don’t worry, they’ve got the crackers to go with it! After all, nothing says “secure” quite like a virtual Swiss cheese firewall.

  • The vulnerabilities include flaws that allow unauthorized API calls, path traversal, and command-line argument manipulation.
  • Two exploit chains leveraging these vulnerabilities can lead to remote code execution.
  • watchTowr Labs researchers discovered these vulnerabilities in April 2025.
