Authenticated command execution
Published Aug 19, 2026 · Updated Aug 20, 2026
OS command injection in Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines 6.0.3 and 6.0.3.1 allows remote authenticated users to execute commands. Dell's advisory and CNA record identify improper neutralization in an OS command path but do not name the affected endpoint, parameter, or function that passes attacker-controlled input to the shell. Exploitation requires high privileges and remote access to the management surface, which limits reachability to administrative contexts, but successful use still yields code execution on the appliance.

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.
