Dell · PowerProtect Data Domain
A flaw in Dell PowerProtect Data Domain (Feature Release and LTS2024 through LTS2026 release lines) stems from improper authentication. Exploitation requires only remote network access and no authentication or user interaction, and allows an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges, giving them full control of the system.
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, LTS2026 release versions 8.6.1.0 through 8.6.1.20, contain an Improper Authentication vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to arbitrary command execution with root privileges. This is a critical severity vulnerability as it allows an attacker to take complete control of the system. Dell recommends customers to upgrade at the earliest opportunity.
