Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid low-privileged account on the Dell PowerProtect One instance, as indicated by PR:L in the CVSS vector - unauthenticated access is not sufficient. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5 (Medium) reflects a network-exploitable flaw requiring only low privileges with no user interaction and low attack complexity, but no confidentiality or availability impact - only integrity (I:H). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who holds a valid low-privileged account on a Dell PowerProtect One deployment sends crafted API or web requests in which they substitute another user's or object's key for their own - for example, replacing their own backup job or policy identifier with a known or enumerated one belonging to a higher-privileged account. Because the server fails to validate that the authenticated user owns or is authorized to modify the referenced object, the attacker successfully tampers with backup configurations, policies, or data records they should not be able to modify. … |
| Remediation | Organizations should consult Dell's security advisory DSA-2026-369 at https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000500902/dsa-2026-369-security-update-for-dell-powerprotect-one-multiple-vulnerabilities for the patched version, as an exact fixed release version was not specified in the available input data - only the advisory reference is confirmed. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
