## Technical details

Dell Cloud Disaster Recovery versions 20.2 and prior contain a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability that allows an attacker to make arbitrary requests from the server to internal or external resources. The vulnerability requires low-level authentication and network access, with no user interaction needed. An unauthenticated attacker cannot exploit this directly—they must first obtain valid credentials. Exploitation enables limited information disclosure (CVSS C:L) but does not permit data modification or availability impact. The vulnerability is patched in version 20.3 and later.
