CVE-2022-34456Network attack vector

Authenticated OS command execution via code injection

Published Jan 18, 2023 · Updated Apr 3, 2025

Code injection in Dell EMC Metro node before 7.1.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary OS commands over the network. Dell has not published the affected interface, input field, or code path that passes attacker-controlled data into command execution. A nonprivileged product account is required, and successful exploitation grants command execution on the storage-virtualization appliance.
