CVE-2024-29212
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 · uneditedDue to an unsafe de-serialization method used by the Veeam Service Provider Console(VSPC) server in communication between the management agent and its components, under certain conditions, it is possible to perform Remote Code Execution (RCE) on the VSPC server machine.
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 · moderate confidenceVeeam Service Provider Console contains an unsafe deserialization vulnerability in the communication channel between its management agent and server components. This flaw allows an attacker to achieve remote code execution on the VSPC server under specific conditions, resulting in complete compromise of the affected system.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify VSPC installation and versionLocate the Veeam Service Provider Console installation on the system. In the installation directory, locate the version information file or executable (typically named something like VeeamServiceProviderConsole.exe, version.dll, or check the program properties). Record the full version number.Affected if The installed version is below 7.0.0.19551, OR is 8.0.0.18054 or higher but below 8.0.0.19552
-
Verify management agent communication is enabledCheck if the Veeam Management Agent service is running and listening on expected ports. This typically involves checking Windows services for 'Veeam Service Provider Console Agent Service' or reviewing network configuration for ports used by VSPC agent-server communication.Affected if The management agent service is active and configured to communicate with the VSPC server, exposing the vulnerable communication channel
-
Confirm VSPC server component is presentOn the VSPC server itself, verify the server component is installed. Check for the VSPC web service or backend service process (typically Veeam.ServiceProvider.Console.* services or executables in the installation folder).Affected if The VSPC server component is installed and running, serving as the target for the deserialization attack
-
Assess network exposure of management agent portsReview firewall rules and network configuration to determine if the ports used for VSPC agent-server communication are accessible from untrusted networks. Check if the management agent communication endpoints are exposed to the internet or untrusted LAN segments.Affected if The management agent communication ports are reachable from untrusted network segments, enabling external attackers to send malicious serialized payloads
You are affected if the installed Veeam Service Provider Console version falls within the vulnerable ranges (< 7.0.0.19551 or >= 8.0.0.18054 and < 8.0.0.19552) AND the management agent communication channel is exposed to potential attackers.

dbcve · scoped7.0.0.195518.0.0.19552
Apply the vendor-provided security update for VSPC immediately. Until patched, restrict network access to the management agent communication ports and monitor for indicators of compromise.
7.0.0.19551 or later for v7; 8.0.0.19552 or later for v8
- Identify your currently installed Veeam Service Provider Console version
- For VSPC 7.x users: Upgrade to version 7.0.0.19551 or later
- For VSPC 8.x users: Upgrade to version 8.0.0.19552 or later
- Download the appropriate update from the official Veeam support portal at www.veeam.com
- Apply the upgrade following standard Veeam upgrade procedures
- Verify the upgrade was successful and the service is running
