DescriptionNVD
Dell CloudLink, versions prior to 8.2, contain a vulnerability where a privileged user with known password can run command injection from console to gain shell access of system.
Executive ViewAI
CVE-2025-45379 presents notable security risk, a OS command injection vulnerability rated CVSS 8.4. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code or commands on affected systems, potentially leading to full system compromise. Organizations should apply vendor updates when available and consider compensating controls in the interim.
Apply vendor patch. If immediate patching is not feasible: (1) Deploy WAF rules to block injection patterns; (2) Restrict network access to affected components; (3) Enable enhanced logging for suspicious activity.
