CVE-2024-40711Veeam Backup and Replication — unauthenticated deserialization

Veeam Backup and Replication rebuilds objects from a crafted payload without checking it, so an unauthenticated attacker runs code on the server that holds the organisation's backups.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Apply the Veeam fix for this now; ransomware crews target backup servers first, so verify backup integrity and rotate the repository credentials.
