CVE-2021-30116 is a critical vulnerability in Kaseya VSA on-premises deployments before version 9.5.7. The issue combines an unauthenticated credential disclosure condition with a business logic flaw in the default client download workflow exposed through the product’s download page. A downloaded and installed Windows agent generates a configuration file containing agent authentication material, including an agent identifier and password. Those credentials can then be submitted back to the download functionality to obtain an authenticated session token intended for agent-related use. Due to insufficient separation of privileges and flawed authentication logic, the resulting session can be reused against services not intended to be accessible to agents, enabling authentication bypass and follow-on semi-authenticated attacks. The flaw was exploited in the wild in July 2021 and was associated with the broader Kaseya VSA compromise activity.
