CVE-2026-35074: CWE-78: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') in Dell PowerProtect Data Domain
Dell PowerProtect Data Domain Feature Release 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, and LTS2024 release versions 7.13.1.0 through 7.13.1.60 contain an improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS Command Injection vulnerability. A high privileged attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to arbitrary command execution with root privileges.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-35074 is an OS command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) in Dell PowerProtect Data Domain affecting Feature Release 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. A local attacker with high privileges can exploit improper neutralization of special elements in OS commands to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.7, reflecting medium severity with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No official patch or remediation level has been published yet, and no known exploits are reported in the wild.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows a high privileged local attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands with root privileges, potentially compromising system confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict local access to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to command execution.
