Dell PowerProtect Data Manager versions prior to 20.2.0.0 contain an improper input validation vulnerability in the REST API. This flaw could be exploited by a high privileged attacker with remote access to potentially achieve remote code execution. The vulnerability is identified as CVE-2026-46737 and is classified under CWE-20. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 6.7, indicating a medium severity level.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-46737 is an improper input validation vulnerability in the REST API of Dell PowerProtect Data Manager. Versions before 20.2.0.0 are affected. An attacker with high privileges and remote access could exploit this vulnerability to execute code remotely. The vulnerability stems from insufficient validation of inputs, which may allow malicious data to be processed in an unsafe manner. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, high confidentiality impact, low integrity impact, and high availability impact.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could lead to remote code execution by a high privileged attacker, potentially compromising confidentiality and availability of the affected system. Integrity impact is low. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no patch or official fix information is provided, users should monitor Dell's advisories for updates. Until a fix is available, restrict remote access to the REST API to trusted administrators only and apply network-level controls to limit exposure.
