Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in Dell PowerProtect Data Domain versions 7.7.1.0 through 8.7.0.0 and certain LTS2025 and LTS2024 release versions. It is caused by improper neutralization of argument delimiters in a command, also known as an 'argument injection' vulnerability.

A highly privileged attacker with local access could exploit this flaw to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges on the affected system.

Impact Analysis

If exploited, this vulnerability allows an attacker with high privileges and local access to execute arbitrary commands as the root user.

This could lead to full system compromise, unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion, and disruption of system availability.
