Low-privileged command execution via unneutralized delimiters
Published Feb 19, 2026 · Updated Feb 19, 2026
Command injection in Dell PowerProtect Data Manager before 19.22.0-24 allows remote authenticated users to execute commands via crafted input. The affected code fails to neutralize expression or command delimiters before command processing; Dell has not named the handler or parameter. Low-privileged access to the remotely reachable service is required, and successful exploitation grants command execution on the manager.
