Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
Dell PowerProtect Agent Service, version(s) prior to 20.1, contain(s) an Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource vulnerability. A low privileged attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Information exposure.
AnalysisAI
Dell PowerProtect Agent prior to version 20.1 allows low-privileged local attackers to read sensitive information through incorrect permission assignment on critical resources. The vulnerability requires local access and existing user privileges but can expose confidential data without requiring user interaction or elevated permissions.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability stems from CWE-732 (Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource), a common weakness in privilege management where file system or resource permissions are not correctly restricted. Dell PowerProtect Agent, a data protection and backup software component, fails to properly enforce access controls on one or more critical resources. An authenticated local user on the system where PowerProtect Agent is installed can leverage these overly permissive access controls to read data that should be restricted to higher-privilege accounts or administrative roles.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Dell PowerProtect Agent to version 20.1 or later. This patch is the primary and recommended fix and addresses the permission assignment vulnerability. Users should apply the security update via Dell's support portal or through their normal patch management process. Detailed guidance and download links are available in Dell Security Advisory DSA-2026-158 at https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000447277/dsa-2026-158-security-update-dell-powerprotect-data-manager-for-multiple-security-vulnerabilities. Until patched, restrict local system access to only trusted administrators and monitor local user privilege escalation attempts.
