Unauthenticated information exposure via DD Boost cryptography
Published Oct 7, 2025 · Updated Oct 7, 2025
Cryptographic weakness in DD Boost in Dell PowerProtect Data Domain allows remote attackers to expose information without authentication. Dell identifies DD Boost as the locus but has not disclosed the risky algorithm, affected protocol operation, or way crafted remote traffic exposes information. No user interaction is required; Dell reports limited information exposure and no ability to alter data or interrupt service.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=7.10.1.0 <7.10.1.70
- Affected versionversion=7.13.1.0 <7.13.1.40
- Affected versionversion=7.7.1.0 <8.4.0.0
- Affected versionversion=8.3.1.0 <8.3.1.10
