MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Persistence The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an authenticated session with high privileges (administrative-level access) on the Dell PowerProtect Data Domain Management Center - per CVSS PR:H and the description's 'high privileged attacker with remote access'. The attacker then supplies specially crafted input to a feature that passes it into a SQL command without proper neutralization (CWE-89). The available sources do not name the exact endpoint, parameter, or feature that is vulnerable, nor any non-default configuration required, so the precise trigger is not described in the available sources. The principal limiting factor is the prerequisite high-privileged authentication, which substantially narrows the realistic attacker set; impact is further limited to information disclosure (no data modification or service disruption). 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 (Low), driven by three factors in the vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N: exploitation requires high privileges already (PR:H), the impact is limited to partial confidentiality (C:L) with no integrity or availability effect (I:N/A:N), and the scope is unchanged (S:U). The vuln.today decision label is 'monitor', the lowest urgency tier, which is consistent with the low CVSS. There is no CISA KEV listing and no public exploit or PoC reference in the input, so this is not confirmed as actively exploited and no exploit code is identified. No EPSS score was supplied, so statistical exploitation probability cannot be compared against the other signals; this is a data gap rather than a low reading. The signals do not conflict: a high-privilege-only, information-disclosure-only SQL injection against a management appliance is a genuine but minor hardening item, not an emergency. The main caveat is that the attacker must already hold a high-privileged account on the Management Center, which both limits real-world risk and means a successful attacker likely already has significant access. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has already obtained high-privileged (administrative) access to the Dell PowerProtect Data Domain Management Center web interface submits a crafted input into a vulnerable field or API parameter that is concatenated into a SQL query, causing the backend to return additional database contents (information disclosure). Because the CVSS vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:H, this is a remote but authenticated and privilege-gated action with low attack complexity. No public exploit code or PoC is identified in the available sources. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 28, 2026
SQL injection in Dell PowerProtect Data Domain Management Center (DDMC) allows an attacker who already holds administrative-level remote access to read information they should not be able to reach, with no integrity or availability impact. Affected builds 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. Scoring is low at CVSS 2.7 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) because the PR:H prerequisite sharply limits the attacker pool; there is no CISA KEV listing and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is tracked at monitor priority.
RemediationAI
Dell has published a security update advisory, DSA-2026-416 (https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000515178/dsa-2026-416-security-update-for-dell-powerprotect-data-domain-multiple-vulnerabilities), covering this and other PowerProtect Data Domain issues; because the advisory covers multiple release tracks, the exact fixed build number for each track is not enumerated in the provided data, so confirm the target build against that advisory before upgrading and follow Dell's documented upgrade path for the applicable Feature Release, LTS2024, LTS2025 or LTS2026 train. Until the management center is updated, the most effective compensating control is to restrict reachability of the DDMC administrative interface to trusted management networks and jump hosts, for example by firewall allow-listing or placing it behind a VPN or bastion - the trade-off is reduced operational convenience for administrators and any automation that talks to the interface. Tightening and auditing the set of accounts holding administrative privileges on the management center limits the population that can satisfy the PR:H precondition, at the cost of some day-to-day administration friction, and reviewing DDMC and backend database logs for unexpected SQL errors or unusual read patterns from administrative sessions provides a detective layer, though it depends on logging being enabled and actually monitored.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The root cause is CWE-89, improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command: input reaching a DDMC feature is concatenated or otherwise incorporated into a SQL statement without adequate sanitization, so a caller able to influence that input can alter query semantics and read data outside the intended result set. The network attack vector (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L) and no user interaction (UI:N) means exploitation is a direct request against the management interface rather than something requiring a victim to act, but the high privilege requirement (PR:H) means the attacker must already be operating inside the administrative plane of the management center - the component used to oversee, configure and monitor Data Domain systems. Scope is unchanged and only confidentiality is affected at a low level, consistent with a narrow read-only disclosure rather than bulk exfiltration or destructive query execution. The available sources do not name the exact endpoint, parameter, or feature that is vulnerable, and no non-default configuration is identified as a prerequisite, so the precise trigger is not described in the available sources. The CPE identifier cpe:2.3:a:dell:powerprotect_data_domain_management_center:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms the management-center application as the affected component rather than the Data Domain operating system itself.

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.
