Technical details
The vulnerability is an OS Command Injection flaw in the REST API of Dell Cloud Disaster Recovery versions 20.2 and prior, caused by improper neutralization of special elements in user-supplied input. A high-privileged attacker with network access can exploit this to execute arbitrary OS commands on the affected system. The attack requires high privilege credentials but no user interaction; successful exploitation grants full remote code execution capabilities. The issue is addressed in version 20.3 and later.
