Dell EMC Unity, Dell EMC UnityVSA and Dell EMC Unity XT versions prior to 5.1.2.0.5.007 contain an operating system (OS) command injection Vulnerability. A locally authenticated user with high privileges may potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to the execution of arbitrary OS commands on the Unity underlying OS, with the privileges of the vulnerable application. Exploitation may lead to an elevation of privilege.
The product constructs all or part of a command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended command when it is sent to a downstream component.

Command injection vulnerabilities typically occur when:
Many protocols and products have their own custom command language. While OS or shell command strings are frequently discovered and targeted, developers may not realize that these other command languages might also be vulnerable to attacks. Command injection is a common problem with wrapper programs.
