DescriptionCVE.org

Dell RecoverPoint for VMs, versions 6.0.3 and 6.0.3.1, contains 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 Command execution.

AnalysisAI

OS command injection in Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines versions 6.0.3 and 6.0.3.1 enables a high-privileged remote attacker to execute arbitrary operating system commands on the underlying host. The vulnerability stems from improper neutralization of special elements passed to OS commands (CWE-78), resulting in full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact per the CVSS vector. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the attacker holds high-privileged (administrative) credentials to the Dell RecoverPoint for VMs management interface, confirmed by the CVSS PR:H metric. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS base score of 7.2 (High) with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H reflects a fully network-exploitable flaw with full triad impact, but the PR:H metric is a critical mitigating factor: exploitation requires that the attacker already holds high-privileged (administrative) credentials to the RecoverPoint management plane. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
