Dell PowerProtect Data Domain, versions 7.7.1.0 through 8.6, 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 local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Command execution.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-54483 is an OS command injection vulnerability in Dell PowerProtect Data Domain affecting versions 7.7.1.0 through 8.6, LTS2026 release 8.6.1.0 through 8.6.1.10, LTS2025 release 8.3.1.0 through 8.3.1.30, and LTS2024 release 7.13.1.0 through 7.13.1.70. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements used in OS commands, allowing a high privileged local attacker to execute arbitrary commands. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 6.7 with attack vector local, low attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No vendor advisory or patch information is currently available.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows a high privileged local attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands on the affected system, potentially compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system. This could lead to full system compromise or disruption of services.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict local access to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity from privileged accounts.
