Root command execution via DDSH CLI injection
Published Aug 4, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2026
OS command injection in Dell PowerProtect Data Domain DD OS allows local users with high privileges to execute arbitrary commands as root. The DDSH CLI passes insufficiently neutralized special elements into an operating-system command, but Dell has not disclosed the affected command handler or input field. Exploitation requires local access and high privileges; successful injection grants root-level control over the appliance or virtual edition.
