Authenticated remote command execution via OS command injection
Published Aug 26, 2026 · Updated Aug 27, 2026
OS command injection in Dell PowerProtect One 20.1.0.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute commands remotely. The product passes attacker-controlled input to an operating-system command without neutralizing command metacharacters; Dell has not disclosed the affected function or request parameter. Low-privileged remote access is required, and successful exploitation executes commands in the appliance context.
