RCE in Veeam Backup & Replication via interval/order parameter

IdentifiersCVE-2025-59470CWE-77· Improper Neutralization of Special…

CVE-2025-59470 is a command injection / remote code execution vulnerability in Veeam Backup & Replication Version 13. The flaw allows a user assigned the Backup Operator or Tape Operator role to execute arbitrary commands as the postgres user by supplying a malicious interval or order parameter to the application. NVD classifies the issue as CWE-77 and assigns CVSS v3.1 AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:L. Affected versions are Veeam Backup & Replication 13 builds from 13.0.0.4967 inclusive up to 13.0.1.1071 exclusive; multiple sources also describe the affected range as 13.0.1.180 and earlier within the 13.x branch. Veeam states versions 12.x and older are not affected.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation provides authenticated remote code execution on the Veeam backup server in the security context of the postgres user. This can enable compromise of the Veeam PostgreSQL database, tampering with backup-management data, disruption of backup operations, and potentially follow-on lateral movement or broader compromise depending on host configuration and local privilege relationships. Confidentiality and integrity impact are high; availability impact is lower but backup services and related data may be disrupted or corrupted.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

If immediate patching is not possible, restrict assignment and use of Backup Operator and Tape Operator roles to only fully trusted personnel, enforce least privilege, and limit network access to the Veeam server to essential administrative paths only. Monitor audit and application logs for suspicious use of interval or order parameters and other anomalous operator activity. Additional hardening measures noted in supporting content include MFA for administrative accounts and network segmentation/isolation of backup infrastructure from untrusted networks.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade Veeam Backup & Replication to version 13.0.1.1071 or later. Veeam’s vendor guidance references KB4792 for the fixed release and associated security update details. Systems running Version 13 prior to 13.0.1.1071 should be treated as vulnerable. Versions 12.x and older are reported as not affected.

CVE-2025-59470-PostgreSQL-Command-InjectionMaturityPoCVerified exploit

Repository contains a minimal proof-of-exploitation for a command injection vulnerability in PostgreSQL’s pg_backup extension affecting PostgreSQL 15.x (<15.7) and 16.x (<16.3). Structure: - README.md: States affected versions and describes unsanitized user-supplied parameters in pg_backup leading to OS command execution as the PostgreSQL user. - exploit.py: Python script using psycopg2 to authenticate to a PostgreSQL instance (host "target", db "postgres", user "backup_operator") and call pg_backup() with a crafted argument that appends a shell command using ';'. The included payload attempts a bash reverse shell to 192.168.1.10:4444. - exploit.sql: Standalone SQL demonstrating the same injection technique, using curl to download and execute http://attacker.com/backdoor.sh. Capabilities: - Remote exploitation over the PostgreSQL protocol using valid credentials. - Arbitrary command execution on the database host via argument injection into pg_backup. - Demonstrated post-exploitation actions: reverse shell callback and remote script download/execute. Notable observables/fingerprintable targets: - Reverse shell endpoint: 192.168.1.10:4444 - HTTP payload host: http://attacker.com/backdoor.sh - Local paths used in payloads: /tmp and /dev/tcp/192.168.1.10/4444
