Seriously? *Another* One? Commvault is Screwed.

Oh joy. More security bullshit. Apparently, some researchers found a bunch of pre-authentication exploit chains in Commvault software. Meaning, before you even log in, someone can probably run code on your system. Fantastic. They’re talking about multiple vulnerabilities strung together like cheap Christmas lights – one flaw leads to another which leads to…you guessed it, remote code execution (RCE). Basically, total compromise.

The worst part? They found this crap in the web console and data transfer services. So, anyone with a network connection can potentially waltz right in and own your backups. And you *pay* for this garbage! The article mentions fixes are available (surprise!), but let’s be real, half of you won’t patch until after you’ve been pwned.

They’re blaming insufficient input validation and improper access controls. Shocking. Truly groundbreaking stuff there, Commvault. It affects a whole heap of versions too, so check the link if you actually care about your data. Don’t come crying to me when your systems are encrypted with ransomware because you were too lazy to update.

Honestly, I’m starting to think all enterprise software is just deliberately designed to be vulnerable at this point. It keeps consultants employed, right? Don’t even get me started on the “complex attack scenarios” they describe… it’s always complex until *you* are the victim.

   I once had to debug a system where the entire authentication process was bypassed because someone hardcoded a backdoor account with “password” as the password. Seriously. *Password*. The lead developer blamed it on “legacy code” and refused to fix it until after three separate breaches. Three. I swear, some people just want to watch the world burn.
