Deeper analysis
A code injection vulnerability tracked as CVE-2024-39714 affects the VSPC server and stems from improper control over code generation. The flaw allows a low-privileged user to upload arbitrary files, which can be leveraged for remote code execution with full impact on confidentiality, integrity Availability and scope change according to its CVSS 9.9 rating.
An authenticated low-privileged attacker with network access can exploit the issue without user interaction to upload and execute malicious files on the server, resulting in complete compromise of the VSPC instance.
The referenced Veeam knowledge base article KB4649 provides official guidance on mitigation steps and available patches for the affected product.
EPSS for the vulnerability rose from a low baseline to a peak of 0.0709 before receding to the current value of 0.0320, indicating a period of increased exploitation interest after disclosure.

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Makes persistent code injection into loaded programs impossible when the executable image itself resides on hardware-protected read-only media.
Dynamically generated code can be produced and executed inside the isolated chamber, preventing host compromise from code-injection payloads.
Validates inputs used in dynamic code generation to block injected directives.
Directly prevents execution of attacker-supplied code written into data memory regions.
