Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the attacker to already possess a high-privileged (administrative) account on the Dell PowerProtect Data Domain Management Center and network reachability to its management interface (CVSS PR:H, AV:N). The affected code path is reachable without user interaction (UI:N) and with low attack complexity (AC:L), but the specific feature, parameter, or query that is vulnerable is not described in the available sources. The dominant limiting factor is the PR:H prerequisite: this is not remotely exploitable by an unauthenticated or low-privileged attacker, which confines realistic risk to compromised-admin or malicious-insider situations. Affected versions are Feature Release 7.7.1.0 through 8.8, LTS2024 7.13.1.0 through 7.13.1.80, LTS2025 8.3.1.0 through 8.3.1.40, and LTS2026 8.6.1.0 through 8.6.1.20.

Impact

This is a low-priority issue despite being a network-exploitable SQL injection. The CVSS 3.1 base score is only 2.7, driven by PR:H (requires an already high-privileged account), S:U (no scope change), and a limited impact profile of C:L/I:N/A:N - information disclosure only, with no integrity or availability impact. The AV:N/AC:L metrics indicate it is reachable remotely over the network with low attack complexity, but the high-privilege precondition is the dominant limiting factor: an attacker must already hold elevated access to the management center before this flaw adds any value. There is no EPSS score provided, the vulnerability is NOT on CISA KEV, and no public exploit or PoC reference is present in the input, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The vendor-assigned priority (vuln.today Decision label 'monitor') is consistent with all these signals. No conflicting signals are present: the CVSS vector, the description ('high privileged attacker with remote access ... Information disclosure'), and the low score all agree. The realistic risk is confined to post-compromise privilege-leverage or malicious-insider scenarios, not opportunistic mass exploitation.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who already holds high-privileged administrative credentials on the Data Domain Management Center sends crafted input through an application function that builds a SQL query, injecting special characters that are not properly neutralized to read database contents they should not otherwise see. The payoff is limited to information disclosure. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis, so any exploitation would require the attacker to develop their own technique.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 28, 2026

SQL injection in Dell PowerProtect Data Domain Management Center (DDMC) lets a high-privileged remote administrator disclose limited information from the product's database; the CVSS 2.7 score reflects the requirement for an existing administrative account and only a low confidentiality impact. Affected builds span Feature Release 7.7.1.0 through 8.8 and the listed LTS2024, LTS2025, and LTS2026 ranges; no public exploit or active exploitation is identified at time of analysis, so the issue is rated for monitoring.

RemediationAI

Dell's DSA-2026-416 advisory at https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000515178/dsa-2026-416-security-update-for-dell-powerprotect-data-domain-multiple-vulnerabilities is the authoritative remediation reference, but the supplied data does not include an exact fixed version for any release branch; obtain and apply the update listed for the installed Feature Release, LTS2024, LTS2025, or LTS2026 train, and confirm the target build in the advisory before upgrading rather than assuming a later build is fixed. Until the update is applied, reduce exposure by restricting network access to the DDMC management interface to trusted administrative networks and by constraining and auditing high-privileged accounts, since exploitation requires an existing administrative account plus network reachability; those controls lower the opportunity for abuse but do not remediate the SQL injection itself.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The flaw is CWE-89 SQL injection: SQL commands are constructed from externally influenced input without neutralizing special elements, allowing an attacker who can reach a vulnerable query path to alter database statements. The assessed vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N shows the management interface is reachable over the network, no user interaction is required, and attack complexity is low, but the attacker must already hold a high-privileged administrative account; scope is unchanged and impact is limited to confidentiality, matching the reported information-disclosure outcome. The supplied CPE cpe:2.3:a:dell:powerprotect_data_domain_management_center:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms the DDMC product family but is a wildcard and does not identify individual builds. The sources do not describe the specific vulnerable feature, parameter, or SQL query, so the exact trigger is not described in the available data.

Attack Technique

SQL injection exploits the way applications construct database queries by mixing user input directly into SQL statements.

Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
