CVE-2024-22461Network attack vector

Root command execution via undisclosed command injection

Published Dec 13, 2024 · Updated Dec 23, 2024

OS command injection in Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines 6.0 SP1 and 6.0 SP1 P1 allows remote authenticated users to execute commands as root. Dell identifies the flaw as proprietary-code command injection but does not disclose the affected interface, parameter, or command-construction path. Exploitation requires low-privileged remote access and grants root-level control of the appliance, permitting complete system compromise.
