Data Protector Encrypted Communications
This proof of concept demonstrates that enabling encrypted control communication on Data Protector agents does not provide any additional security. As it provides no authentication, it is not a viable workaround to prevent the exploitation of well-known Data Protector issues such as cve-2014-2623. This exploit establishes an unauthenticated encrypted communication channel to a Data Protector Agent and uses a well-known unencrypted Data Protector vulnerability to run arbitrary commands on the target.
Mitigation:
Unknown
