Unauthenticated file deletion via OS command injection
Published Mar 28, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2026
OS command injection in Dell Unity 5.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to delete arbitrary files via remote access. Dell has not published the affected endpoint, parameter, or command-construction path, so the exact untrusted-input operation is undisclosed. No authentication or user interaction is required, and deletion runs with root privileges, placing critical system files at risk.
