Dell PowerProtect DD versions prior to 8.3.0.0, 7.10.1.50, and 7.13.1.20 contain an improper access control vulnerability. A local malicious user with low privileges could potentially exploit this vulnerability leading to escalation of privilege.
The product implements access controls via a policy or other feature with the intention to disable or restrict accesses (reads and/or writes) to assets in a system from untrusted agents. However, implemented access controls lack required granularity, which renders the control policy too broad because it allows accesses from unauthorized agents to the security-sensitive assets.
