The LDLS credentials are used to connect to Dell EMC Online Support. If the LDLS configuration was changed to an invalid configuration, then Avamar Installation Manager may not be able to connect to Dell EMC Online Support web site successfully. The remote unauthenticated attacker can also read and use the credentials to login to Dell EMC Online Support, impersonating the AVI service actions using those credentials.","published":"2018-04-09T20:29:00.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T01:50:45.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"security_alert@emc.com","cvss":{"version":"3.0","score":9.8,"severity":"CRITICAL","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-862"],"affected":["dell/emc avamar","dell/emc integrated data protection appliance"],"epss":{"score":0.50874,"percentile":0.9892,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[{"date":"2026-09-21","score":0.2232,"percentile":0.97632},{"date":"2026-09-22","score":0.50874,"percentile":0.98876}]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":1,"verified":false,"firstPublished":"2018-04-10","source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[{"edbId":44441,"kind":"exploit","title":"Dell EMC Avamar and Integrated Data Protection Appliance Installation Manager - Invalid Access Control","url":"https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/44441","sourceUrl":"https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb/-/blob/main/exploits/linux/webapps/44441.txt","file":"exploits/linux/webapps/44441.txt","published":"2018-04-10","added":"2018-04-10","updated":"2018-04-10","author":"SlidingWindow","type":"webapps","platform":"linux","port":null,"verified":false,"codes":["CVE-2018-1217"],"tags":null,"aliases":null,"applicationUrl":null,"screenshotUrl":null,"referenceUrl":null}]},"verdict":{"level":"urgent","text":"EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 50.9%, higher than 99% of all known CVEs.
