Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Dell PowerProtect Data Domain with Data Domain Operating System Feature Release, PowerProtect Data Domain with Data Domain Operating System LTS2025, PowerProtect Data Domain with Data Domain Operating System LTS 2024 and PowerProtect Data Domain with Data Domain Operating System LTS2023 up to 8.4.0.0. This affects some unknown functionality. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a os command injection vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-78. The product constructs all or part of an OS command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended OS command when it is sent to a downstream component. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Dell PowerProtect Data Domain with Data Domain Operating System (DD OS) of Feature Release versions 7.7.1.0 through 8.4.0.0, LTS2025 release version 8.3.1.10, LTS2024 release versions 7.13.1.0 through 7.13.1.40, LTS 2023 release versions 7.10.1.0 through 7.10.1.70, contain an Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') vulnerability. A high privileged attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Command execution.

The advisory is shared at dell.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2025-46645 since 04/26/2025. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. Additional levels of successful authentication are necessary for exploitation. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available.
