Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery, versions Prior to 20.3, contain an UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following vulnerability. A low privileged attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Script injection.
AnalysisAI
Symlink following in Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery versions prior to 20.3 allows a local low-privileged attacker to redirect privileged file operations to attacker-controlled paths, resulting in script injection. The CVSS vector (AV:L/AC:H/PR:L) confirms the attack is constrained to local access with elevated complexity - likely a race condition - but the integrity impact is rated High, meaning successful exploitation can alter critical scripts or configurations. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an attacker to have an active local user account on the Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery host with at least low-privilege access (PR:L per CVSS vector). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS score of 5.8 (Medium) reflects a meaningful but constrained attack surface. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker with a low-privileged local account on the PowerProtect Cyber Recovery host identifies a directory writable by their user account that a privileged PowerProtect process is known to access during scheduled backup or recovery operations. The attacker replaces a legitimate file in that path with a symlink pointing to a sensitive system script or cron file. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery to version 20.3 or later, as confirmed by Dell Security Advisory DSA-2026-370 (https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000501456/dsa-2026-370-security-update-for-dell-powerprotect-cyber-recovery-multiple-third-party-component-vulnerabilities). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
