CVE-2024-34010: 
Acronis Cyber Protect vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Local privilege escalation vulnerability (CVE-2024-34010) affects Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud Agent (Windows) before build 37758 and Acronis Cyber Protect 16 (Windows) before build 38690. The vulnerability is due to an unquoted search path issue that could allow local privilege escalation (NVD).

The vulnerability is classified as CWE-428 (Unquoted Search Path or Element) with a CVSS v3.0 base score of 8.2 HIGH (Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H). The issue stems from an unquoted service path that could be exploited by local attackers (NVD).

If successfully exploited, this vulnerability allows an attacker with local access to escalate privileges on the affected system through manipulation of unquoted service paths. The high CVSS score indicates potential severe impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system (NVD).

The vulnerability requires local access and high privileges to exploit. The attack complexity is rated as low, indicating that the exploitation is relatively straightforward once the prerequisite access is obtained (NVD).

Users should upgrade Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud Agent (Windows) to build 37758 or later, and Acronis Cyber Protect 16 (Windows) to build 38690 or later to address this vulnerability (Acronis Advisory).
