AhsayCBS backup server flaw lets remote attackers run system commands
AhsayCBS has a critical, unauthenticated remote command injection flaw in its Replication Receiver that CISA lists as actively exploited. Upgrade to 9.15.2.70 or 10.3.4.45 or later, confirm the fix is in place, and check exposed servers for compromise.
In plain terms
AhsayCBS is the server side of Ahsay's Cloud Backup Suite, used by organisations and service providers to receive and store backups. A part of it called the Replication Receiver contains a flaw known as command injection. This means data sent to the server can be interpreted as instructions to the underlying operating system. An attacker who can reach the server over the network could make it run commands of their choosing, without logging in.
Anyone running AhsayCBS should treat this as urgent. This applies especially to backup service providers and organisations whose backup server is reachable from the internet. CISA has confirmed that attackers are already exploiting the flaw. Backup servers hold copies of an organisation's data, so a compromise can expose sensitive information and undermine recovery after an incident.
