An issue was discovered in Veritas NetBackup before 10.5. This only applies to NetBackup components running on a Windows Operating System. If a user executes specific NetBackup commands or an attacker uses social engineering techniques to impel the user to execute the commands, a malicious DLL could be loaded, resulting in execution of the attacker's code in the user's security context.

Veritas System Recovery before 23.3_Hotfix has incorrect permissions for the Veritas System Recovery folder, and thus low-privileged users can conduct attacks.

In Veritas NetBackup OpsCenter, a hard-coded credential exists that could be used to exploit the underlying VxSS subsystem. This affects 8.x through 8.3.0.2, 9.x through 9.0.0.1, 9.1.x through 9.1.0.1, and 10.
