Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Local privilege escalation vulnerability in Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office and True Image 2021 for macOS. The software loads unsigned libraries without proper restrictions, allowing a local attacker with low-privilege access to inject malicious code and escalate to root privileges.

MitigationUpdate to Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office build 39605 or later, or True Image 2021 build 39287 or later, to resolve the unrestricted library loading issue.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify installed Acronis product
    Open Terminal and run: ls /Applications | grep -i acronis to list any Acronis applications installed on the macOS system
    Affected if No Acronis product found means not affected; if True Image 2021 or Cyber Protect Home Office appears, proceed to version check
  2. Determine installed version of Acronis True Image 2021
    If True Image 2021 is installed, run: defaults read /Applications/Acronis\ True\ Image.app/Contents/Info.plist CFBundleShortVersionString to get the version number
    Affected if Version equals 2021 with build lower than 39287 indicates vulnerability is present
  3. Determine installed version of Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office
    If Cyber Protect Home Office is installed, run: defaults read /Applications/Acronis\ Cyber\ Protect\ Home\ Office.app/Contents/Info.plist CFBundleShortVersionString to get the version number
    Affected if Any version of Cyber Protect Home Office is installed (all versions are affected)
  4. Verify product build number
    Run: defaults read /Applications/Acronis\ True\ Image.app/Contents/Info.plist CFBundleVersion (for True Image) or the equivalent for Cyber Protect Home Office to check the specific build number against the fixed builds (39287 and 39605 respectively)
    Affected if Build number below 39287 for True Image 2021 or below 39605 for Cyber Protect Home Office indicates the vulnerable version is in use

A system is affected if Acronis True Image 2021 with build below 39287 or any version of Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office with build below 39605 is installed on the macOS system.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Update to Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office build 39605 or later, or True Image 2021 build 39287 or later, to resolve the unrestricted library loading issue.

Recommended fix High confidence

Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office build 39605+ (or latest version); Acronis True Image 2021 build 39287+ if still supported, otherwise migrate to Cyber Protect Home Office

  1. 1. Verify current installed version by opening Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office or True Image 2021 and checking About/Help section
  2. 2. For Cyber Protect Home Office: upgrade to build 39605 or later (or migrate to latest available version)
  3. 3. For True Image 2021: upgrade to build 39287 or later
  4. 4. Restart the machine after upgrade to ensure all components load correctly
  5. 5. Verify the fix by checking the build number in the application's About section
Caveat True Image 2021 may be end-of-life; migration to Cyber Protect Home Office may require new license
