Summary		(es) Dell PowerFlex Manager, versión anterior a 5.1.0.1, contiene una vulnerabilidad de neutralización incorrecta de elementos especiales utilizados en un comando del sistema operativo (’inyección de comandos del sistema operativo’). Un atacante con altos privilegios y acceso remoto podría potencialmente explotar esta vulnerabilidad durante el procesamiento del repositorio del sistema operativo para lograr la ejecución arbitraria de comandos como root, lo que podría llevar al compromiso total del dispositivo y al movimiento lateral hacia la infraestructura gestionada.
