Dell PowerProtect Data Manager, versions 20.2.0.0 and below, contain a Reliance on Data/Memory Layout vulnerability. An unauthenticated remote attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Launch of phishing attacks.
AnalysisAI
PowerProtect Data Manager versions 20.2.0.0 and earlier contain a CWE-188 (Reliance on Data/Memory Layout) flaw that enables unauthenticated remote attackers to launch phishing attacks against users of the platform. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R) indicates the attack is network-reachable without credentials but requires high complexity and user interaction, consistent with an open-redirect or token/URL-manipulation mechanism that makes the product's trusted domain a vehicle for directing victims to attacker-controlled infrastructure. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The attack requires (1) the attacker be able to reach the PowerProtect Data Manager web interface over the network (AV:N), (2) high attack complexity - likely meaning the attacker must precisely craft a URL exploiting the layout assumption, (3) no authentication against PPDM itself (PR:N), and (4) a legitimate PPDM user must click the crafted link (UI:R). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS base score of 6.8 (Medium) aligns reasonably with real-world risk for this class of vulnerability: the AC:H and UI:R constraints substantially reduce exploitability compared to a simple open redirect, and the 'launch of phishing attacks' impact is indirect rather than direct system compromise. … 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. |
| Remediation | Apply the update referenced in Dell advisory DSA-2026-368 (https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000501452/dsa-2026-368-security-update-for-dell-powerprotect-data-manager-multiple-vulnerabilities) to move beyond version 20.2.0.0; the exact patched version number is not specified in the available input and should be confirmed directly from the advisory. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
