Dell PowerProtect Data Domain, versions 7.7.1.0 through 8.7, LTS2026 release version 8.6.1.0 through 8.6.1.10, LTS2025 release version 8.3.1.0 through 8.3.1.30, LTS2024 release versions 7.13.1.0 through 7.13.1.70 contain an improper neutralization of special Elements used in an OS command ('OS command Injection') vulnerability. A high privileged attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to execution of arbitrary OS commands.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-49815 is an OS command injection vulnerability in Dell PowerProtect Data Domain affecting versions 7.7.1.0 through 8.7 and specific LTS releases. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements in OS commands, enabling a high privileged remote attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands. The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.2 reflects high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No vendor advisory or patch information is available at this time, and the product is not a cloud service, so remediation depends on vendor updates.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows a high privileged remote attacker to execute arbitrary operating system commands on affected Dell PowerProtect Data Domain systems. This can lead to full compromise of the system's confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability poses a significant risk in environments where attackers have high privilege remote access.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict high privileged remote access to affected systems and monitor for suspicious activity related to command execution. Follow Dell's security advisories for updates.
