CVE-2026-35154

Published Apr 20, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 6.3 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed

Description

Dell PowerProtect Data Domain appliances, versions 7.7.1.0 through 8.6.0.0 and version 8.7.0.0, LTS2025 release versions 8.3.1.0 through 8.3.1.20, LTS2024 release versions 7.13.1.0 through 7.13.1.60 contain an improper privilege
management vulnerability. A high privileged attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to elevation of privileges to access unauthorized delete operation.

Analysis

Technical impact

Updated information indicates an improper privilege management flaw in Dell PowerProtect Data Domain appliances. The vulnerability allows a local high‑privileged attacker to elevate privileges and execute unauthorized delete operations. This issue is categorized as CWE‑269 (Access Control).

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects Dell PowerProtect Data Domain appliances running firmware versions 7.7.1.0 through 8.6.0.0 and 8.7.0.0, LTS2025 release versions 8.3.1.0 through 8.3.1.20, and LTS2024 release versions 7.13.1.0 through 7.13.1.60.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.3 indicates moderate severity, while the EPSS score of <1% shows low exploitation probability. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting no widespread exploitation yet. An attacker with local high‑privilege access could exploit this flaw to elevate privileges and delete protected data. Because the attack requires local high‑privilege conditions, it is unlikely to be leveraged remotely, but within a compromised environment the risk remains significant.

Affected Products

Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
