RCE in Veeam Backup & Replication via malicious password parameter
CVE-2025-59468 is a vulnerability in Veeam Backup & Replication affecting version 13.0.1.180 and earlier 13.x builds. The flaw allows a user with the Backup Administrator role to trigger remote code execution as the postgres user by supplying a malicious password parameter. Publicly available supporting content does not identify the exact vulnerable function or code path, but the issue is consistently described as improper handling of a password parameter that can be manipulated to execute code in the security context of the local PostgreSQL service account. Veeam states that versions 12.x and older are not affected, and the issue was fixed in build 13.0.1.1071.
