Deeper analysis
A code injection vulnerability tracked as CVE-2024-39715 affects the Veeam Service Provider Console (VSPC) server. The flaw, assigned CWE-94, permits a low-privileged user who already possesses REST API access to upload arbitrary files to the VSPC server, which can then be leveraged for remote code execution on that server. The issue carries a CVSS 3.0 base score of 8.5.
An attacker with valid low-privileged REST API credentials can remotely supply crafted requests that result in file uploads to the VSPC server, ultimately achieving arbitrary code execution in the context of the VSPC service. Exploitation requires network reachability to the REST API endpoint and does not need user interaction or high privileges beyond the granted API access.
The vendor advisory at https://www.veeam.com/kb4649 addresses the issue. Exploitation probability as measured by EPSS rose from a lower baseline to a peak of 0.0709 on 2026-02-04 before receding to the current value of 0.0320, indicating a period of increased 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.
