DescriptionCVE.org

Dell PowerProtect One, versions 20.1.0.0 and below, contain an Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') vulnerability. A low privileged attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Code execution.

AnalysisAI

OS command injection in Dell PowerProtect One versions 20.1.0.0 and below allows remote code execution by low-privileged authenticated users. The CWE-78 root cause indicates that user-controlled input is passed unsanitized to OS-level shell commands exposed through a network-accessible interface. …

Bypass input validation in command construction
Persist
Execute arbitrary OS commands as service process user
Impact
Access or exfiltrate backup data

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a valid low-privilege credential on the Dell PowerProtect One system, consistent with the CVSS PR:L metric - unauthenticated remote exploitation is not indicated by available data. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 8.8 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) presents a realistic and prioritizable threat: the attack is network-reachable, requires no elevated privileges beyond a basic authenticated session, and yields full host-level code execution. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with a low-privilege account on Dell PowerProtect One submits a crafted request to a network-accessible management endpoint, embedding OS metacharacters (e.g., a semicolon or pipe followed by an arbitrary command) in a parameter that is subsequently passed unsanitized to a shell invocation. The injected command executes with the privileges of the service process, granting the attacker arbitrary code execution on the appliance and potential access to backup data stores or lateral movement within the protected environment. …
Remediation Apply the vendor-supplied patch documented in Dell Security Advisory DSA-2026-369, available at https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000500902/dsa-2026-369-security-update-for-dell-powerprotect-one-multiple-vulnerabilities. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: audit all systems running PowerProtect One to identify affected versions (20.1.0.0 and below) and document exposure; establish communication with Dell technical support regarding patch timeline. …
