Unauthenticated remote execution via risky SSH cryptography
Published Dec 13, 2024 · Updated Dec 13, 2024
Broken SSH cryptography in Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines 6.0.x allows remote attackers to execute code without authentication. The SSH service uses a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm, but Dell has not disclosed the algorithm or the operation that enables execution. Exposure requires network access to the vRPA SSH service; Dell does not describe the executable actions or privilege level attained.
