    Cybersecurity company Acronis is warning that a now-patched critical security flaw impacting its Cyber Infrastructure (ACI) product has been exploited in the wild.

    The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2023-45249 (CVSS score: 9.8), concerns a case of remote code execution that stems from the use of default passwords.

    The flaw impacts the following versions of Acronis Cyber Infrastructure (ACI) –

    • < build 5.2.1-69
    • < build 5.3.1-53, and
