description

Dell PowerProtect Data Domain Feature Release 7.7.1.0 through 8.8 and affected LTS release trains are vulnerable to path traversal. A remote attacker with low-privileged access may reach filesystem locations outside the intended directory scope.

mitigation

Upgrade to 8.9.0.0 or later, 7.13.1.90 or later, 8.3.1.50 or later, or 8.6.1.30 or later, as applicable. Until upgraded, restrict remote access and limit low-privileged account access.

fixed in 8.9.0.0 or later, 7.13.1.90 or later, 8.3.1.50 or later, 8.6.1.30 or later
