Veeam · Veeam Backup & Replication · CVE-2015-5742
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Veeam Backup & Replication versions prior to 8.0 update 3
**Description**
The issue allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading log files with world-readable permissions, where local administrator credentials are stored. This is due to the storage of credentials in log files by VeeamVixProxy.
