AI Analysis

Impact

An OS Command Injection vulnerability allows a high‑privileged remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on Dell PowerProtect Data Domain systems. This can lead to complete system compromise, exposing sensitive data and enabling further lateral movement. The weakness stems from improper neutralization of special elements used in OS command construction.

Affected Systems

Dell PowerProtect Data Domain Feature Release versions 7.7.1.0 through 8.8, LTS2024 release versions 7.13.1.0 through 7.13.1.80, LTS2025 release versions 8.3.1.0 through 8.3.1.40, and LTS2026 release versions 8.6.1.0 through 8.6.1.20 are affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.2 indicates high severity. EPSS is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. The attacker must possess high‑privilege credentials and remote access to the target. Once compromised, the attacker can run any command on the host with the privileges of the vulnerable service, representing a significant risk for exposed systems.
