2025-08-01 Kaseya VSA 2017 PoC Public

Description

ConnectWise ManagedITSync integration through 2017 for Kaseya VSA is vulnerable to unauthenticated remote commands that allow full direct access to the Kaseya VSA database. If the ManagedIT.asmx page is available via the Kaseya VSA web interface, anyone with access to the page is able to run arbitrary SQL queries, both read and write, without authentication.In February 2019, attackers actively exploited this vulnerability in the wild to download and execute ransomware payloads on all endpoints managed by the VSA server.
