Dell PowerProtect Data Manager, versions 20.2.0.0 and below, contain a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in file-level restore agent. A high privileged remote attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Information disclosure.
AnalysisAI
Stack buffer overflow (CWE-121) in the file-level restore agent of Dell PowerProtect Data Manager versions 20.2.0.0 and below enables attackers to potentially achieve full system compromise, including code execution. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, score 7.8) indicates local access with low privileges, while the vendor description separately references a 'high privileged remote attacker' - a direct conflict in both attack vector and privilege level requiring vendor clarification. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Based on the provided CVSS vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L), exploitation requires local access to the PPDM system and at minimum a low-privilege local account - remote unauthenticated exploitation is not supported by the CVSS data. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Two material conflicts in the provided metadata complicate prioritization: the CVSS vector specifies AV:L/PR:L (local access, low privilege), while the vendor description attributes exploitation to a 'high privileged remote attacker' - conflicting on both attack vector and privilege level. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Apply the patched version of Dell PowerProtect Data Manager as directed by Dell advisory DSA-2026-368 at https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000501452/dsa-2026-368-security-update-for-dell-powerprotect-data-manager-multiple-vulnerabilities. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, identify all PPDM deployments running version 20.2.0.0 or earlier and confirm whether low-privileged local access is possible in your environment; note that no public exploit identified at time of analysis. …
