Technical Analysis

This vulnerability in Acronis True Image (Windows) before build 42902 is due to insecure folder permissions (CWE-732), which can be exploited by a local attacker to escalate privileges. The CVSS 3.0 vector indicates the attack requires local access with high attack complexity and user interaction, but successful exploitation can lead to complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system. No patch or remediation details are currently provided by the vendor, and no exploits are known in the wild.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation allows a local attacker with limited privileges to gain higher privileges on the affected system, potentially leading to full system compromise. This impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system and data managed by Acronis True Image. Since the attack vector is local and requires user interaction, remote exploitation is not possible based on current information.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict local user access to trusted individuals only and monitor for suspicious activity related to Acronis True Image folder permissions. Avoid running untrusted code or scripts with user privileges on affected systems.
