Technical details

An OS command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) exists in Dell PowerScale InsightIQ versions 6.0.0 through 6.2.0 due to improper neutralization of special elements used in OS commands. The vulnerability requires local access and high privileges (PR:H) to exploit. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the application, potentially leading to a full compromise of the host operating system (Scope: Changed). Dell has released version 6.3.0 to remediate this issue.
