Mixed.

Commvault Systems, Inc.'s ethical profile has received a "Mixed" rating, with notable concerns emerging. A critical zero-day vulnerability (CVE-2025-3928) with a CVSS score of 10.0 was allegedly exploited by a state-sponsored actor in early 2025, potentially exposing customer secrets and M365 environments. While no unauthorized access to customer backup data was reported, the incident highlighted significant security risks. Regarding worker respect, the CEO to median employee pay ratio surged to 283:1 in 2025, with the CEO earning over $18.8 million, a substantial increase from 157:1 in 2024. Reports from 2018-19 in the UK also indicated a gender pay gap where women earned 70p for every £1 earned by men in median hourly pay. On a positive note, Commvault's core business is not inherently linked to military applications, with a reported corporate ban on military sales.
