Remote code execution via invalid REST input
Published Jul 22, 2026 · Updated Jul 22, 2026
Improper input validation in Dell PowerProtect Data Manager before 20.2.0.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute code through its REST API. Dell has not disclosed which REST API endpoint accepts invalid input or how that input reaches an execution sink. Exploitation requires a high-privilege account with network access, and Dell has not disclosed the resulting execution context.
