An authenticated, low-privileged user with access to the NetBackup Flex
OS management shell could supply a specially crafted input to a
privileged administrative command, causing it to execute arbitrary code
with root-level permissions. Successful exploitation grants the attacker
unrestricted control over the Flex appliance host and all hosted
containers, fully compromising confidentiality, integrity, and
availability.
Restrict management shell access to authorized administrators only. No
compensating control fully eliminates the risk; upgrading is required.
