CVE-2026-22269Network attack vector

Admin-level protection bypass via unverified API source

Published Feb 19, 2026 · Updated Feb 19, 2026

Improper source verification in Dell PowerProtect Data Manager before 19.22.0-24 allows remote authenticated users to bypass REST API protections. Dell has not published which REST API request or source-identity check is mishandled; the public record identifies only inadequate communication-channel source verification. The gate is a high-privileged account with remote access, and the bounded result is bypass of an unspecified protection mechanism.
