CVE-2025-23121 is a critical remote code execution vulnerability in Veeam Backup & Replication affecting domain-joined Backup Server deployments. The flaw allows an authenticated Active Directory domain user to remotely execute arbitrary code on the backup server. Available reporting indicates the issue is likely a bypass of the earlier CVE-2025-23120 fix and is associated with insecure deserialization behavior involving Microsoft BinaryFormatter in Veeam Backup & Replication version 12 builds, including 12.3.1.1139 and earlier affected releases. The vulnerability is exposed only when the Backup Server is joined to a Windows domain.
