Phishing attacks via undisclosed data layout flaw
Published Sep 3, 2026 · Updated Sep 3, 2026
Reliance on data or memory layout in Dell PowerProtect Data Manager 20.2.0.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to launch phishing attacks. Dell has not disclosed the affected component, malformed input, layout assumption, or how exploitation produces phishing content. Exploitation requires no authentication, has high attack complexity, and requires victim interaction; Dell reports confidentiality and integrity consequences but no service interruption.
