Root Privilege Command Injection in Dell UnityVSA 5.4 and Earlier

Dell UnityVSA, version(s) 5.4 and prior, contain(s) an Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') vulnerability. A low privileged attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to arbitrary command execution with root privileges.

Dell Unity, versions prior to 5.4, contain a vulnerability whereby log messages can be spoofed by an authenticated attacker. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to forge log entries, create false alarms, and inject malicious content into logs that compromise logs integrity. A malicious attacker could also prevent the product from logging information while malicious actions are performed or implicate an arbitrary user for malicious activities.

Dell Unity prior to 5.3 contains a 'man in the middle' vulnerability in the vmadapter component. If a customer has a certificate signed by a third-party public Certificate Authority, the vCenter CA could be spoofed by an attacker who can obtain a CA-signed certificate.

Dell Unity 5.3 contain(s) an Arbitrary File Creation vulnerability. A remote unauthenticated attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability by crafting arbitrary files through a request to the server.

Dell Unity prior to 5.3 contains an XML External Entity injection vulnerability. An XXE attack could potentially exploit this vulnerability disclosing local files in the file system.

Dell Unity prior to 5.3 contains a Restricted Shell Bypass vulnerability. This could allow an authenticated, local attacker to exploit this vulnerability by authenticating to the device CLI and issuing certain commands.

Dell Unity prior to 5.3 contains a Cross-site scripting vulnerability. A low-privileged authenticated attacker can exploit these issues to obtain escalated privileges.

Dell Unity, Dell UnityVSA, and Dell UnityXT versions prior to 5.2.0.0.5.173 contain a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability in Unisphere GUI. An Unauthenticated Remote Attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to the execution of malicious HTML or JavaScript code in a victim user's web browser in the context of the vulnerable web application. Exploitation may lead to information disclosure, session theft, or client-side request forgery.

Dell Unity, Dell UnityVSA, and Dell Unity XT versions prior to 5.2.0.0.5.173 contain a plain-text password storage vulnerability when certain off-array tools are run on the system. The credentials of a user with high privileges are stored in plain text. A local malicious user with high privileges may use the exposed password to gain access with the privileges of the compromised user.

Dell Unity, Dell UnityVSA, and Dell Unity XT versions before 5.2.0.0.5.173 do not restrict excessive authentication attempts in Unisphere GUI. A remote unauthenticated attacker may potentially exploit this vulnerability to brute-force passwords and gain access to the system as the victim. Account takeover is possible if weak passwords are used by users.

Dell EMC Unity, UnityVSA, and Unity XT versions prior to 5.0.7.0.5.008 contain a plain-text password storage vulnerability when the Dell Upgrade Readiness Utility is run on the system. The credentials of the Unisphere Administrator are stored in plain text. A local malicious user with high privileges may use the exposed password to gain access with the privileges of the compromised user.
