AI-suggested

European organizations should prioritize upgrading affected Acronis products to the fixed builds (40901 for Cyber Protect Home Office, 39378 for Cloud Agent, and 39938 for Cyber Protect 16) as soon as vendor patches are available. If you cannot patch yet, organizations should implement strict local access controls and monitoring to detect suspicious DLL loading or privilege escalation attempts. Employ application whitelisting and integrity monitoring to prevent unauthorized DLLs from being loaded. Educate users about the risks of executing untrusted files or interacting with unexpected prompts to reduce the likelihood of user interaction exploitation. Additionally, conduct regular audits of installed software versions and maintain an inventory of endpoints running vulnerable Acronis products. Network segmentation and the principle of least privilege should be enforced to limit the impact of any local compromise.

Description

Local privilege escalation due to DLL hijacking vulnerability. The following products are affected: Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office (Windows) before build 40901, Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud Agent (Windows) before build 39378, Acronis Cyber Protect 16 (Windows) before build 39938.
