Veeam has released security updates to address multiple flaws in its Backup & Replication software, including a "critical" issue that could result in remote code execution (RCE). The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-59470, carries a CVSS score of 9.0. "This vulnerability allows a Backup or Tape Operator to perform remote code execution (RCE) as the postgres user by sending a malicious
The Cybersecurity sector will likely see increased demand for solutions that can proactively detect and prevent RCE vulnerabilities in backup and recovery software, as well as solutions specifically designed to protect AI/ML workloads. This will likely lead to a shift toward more resilient backup strategies and a focus on zero-trust architectures for AI infrastructure.
Businesses must immediately patch their Veeam installations and review their backup and recovery procedures to ensure the integrity of their AI/ML datasets. This includes implementing stricter access controls, monitoring for suspicious activity, and potentially introducing validation mechanisms to detect data corruption in restored backups before they are used for AI model training.
