Veeam Management Pack Security Alert

Recent security disclosures have put the Veeam Management Pack for Microsoft System Center under scrutiny. Security researchers have identified three remote code execution vulnerabilities, including one rated Critical (CVSS 9.3). According to Veeam’s security advisory, versions 9.1 and earlier in the 9.x product line are affected. Veeam will not provide a separate security fix for these versions.

For organizations using the Veeam Management Pack to monitor their VMware infrastructure through Microsoft SCOM, this may be a good moment to take a closer look at their existing monitoring strategy.
