# Dell PowerProtect Data Domain Virtual Edition: path traversal allows command execution

PowerProtect Data Domain Virtual Edition contains a path traversal flaw across several feature and LTS release lines. A high-privileged attacker with remote access could exploit it to execute commands.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the installed Data Domain Virtual Edition release version against the affected ranges in the NVD entry (for example, `7.13.1.0` through `7.13.1.70` on LTS2024, `8.3.1.0` through `8.3.1.30` on LTS2025, `8.6.1.0` through `8.6.1.10` on LTS2026).

## Fix

- Move Data Domain Virtual Edition to a fixed release listed in the vendor advisory; the sources do not name the fixed versions, so unknown.

## Timeline

- 2026-10-27T14:32:26+00:00 nvd https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-94346

## From the sources

PowerProtect Data Domain Virtual Edition, Feature Release versions 7.7.1.0 through 8.7, LTS2024 release versions 7.13.1.0 through 7.13.1.70, LTS2025 release versions 8.3.1.0 through 8.3.1.30, LTS2026 release versions 8.6.1.0 through 8.6.1.10, contain a Path Traversal vulnerability. A high privileged attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Command execution.
