Summary

This vulnerability permits remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on installations of EMC Data Protection Advisor version 6.3.0. Authenticating users are at risk due to a flaw in the EMC DPA Application service, which listens on TCP port 9002 by default. The flaw arises from improper validation of the preScript parameter, allowing an attacker to exploit it to execute system calls.
