Root command execution via svc_oscheck command injection
Published Feb 12, 2024 · Updated Aug 19, 2024
OS command injection in Dell Unity before 5.4 allows local users with authenticated access to execute operating system commands as root. Dell identifies svc_oscheck as the injection locus but has not disclosed how the utility incorporates attacker-controlled input into an operating system command. Exploitation requires low-privileged local access and grants root-level command execution, allowing full control over the appliance operating environment.
