dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check Acronis Cyber Protect 17 version on WindowsOpen Windows Registry Editor and navigate to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Acronis\MMS\, or open Control Panel > Programs and Features and look for 'Acronis Cyber Protect 17' to see the installed version and build numberAffected if The displayed version is earlier than 17.0.41186 or the build number is lower than 41186
-
Check Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud Agent version on WindowsOpen Windows Registry Editor and navigate to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Acronis\MMS\, or run 'Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Where-Object {$_.Name -like "*Acronis*"}' in PowerShell to list installed Acronis components and their versionsAffected if The agent version shows c25.x with build earlier than 41124, or any version before c25.10
-
Check Acronis agent version on LinuxRun 'rpm -qa | grep -i acronis' or 'dpkg -l | grep -i acronis' depending on the package manager to list installed Acronis packages, or check /var/lib/Acronis/ for installation infoAffected if The installed package version is earlier than c25.10 or the build is lower than 41124
-
Check Acronis agent version on macOSRun 'pkgutil --pkg-info=com.acronis.*' or check /Library/Acronis/ for installation files and version informationAffected if The package version is earlier than c25.10 or shows a build number below 41124
-
Verify access control configurationReview the Acronis management console or registry settings under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Acronis\MMS\ for any custom access control configurations, and audit user permissions within the Acronis management interfaceAffected if Non-administrative user accounts have been granted elevated privileges or there are custom permission rules that may bypass standard authorization checks
You are affected if any Acronis Cyber Protect 17 installation is earlier than build 41186, or any Acronis Cloud Agent is earlier than build c25.10 (41124) on any platform.

dbcve · scoped17.0.41186
Upgrade to Acronis Cyber Protect 17 build 41186 or later, and Cyber Protect Cloud Agent build 41124 or later. Prioritize systems handling sensitive data given the combined disclosure and manipulation impact.
Acronis Cyber Protect 17 build 41186 or later; Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud Agent c25.10 (build 41124) or later
- 1. Identify the currently installed Acronis Cyber Protect or Agent version and build number
- 2. For Acronis Cyber Protect 17: Upgrade to build 41186 or later for all platforms (Linux, macOS, Windows)
- 3. For Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud Agent: Upgrade to build 41124 (c25.10) or later for all platforms (Linux, macOS, Windows)
- 4. Verify the upgrade was successful by confirming the new build number in the product UI or via command line
- 5. Test that sensitive operations now require proper authorization
