Summary

The vulnerability in EMC Legato NetWorker, Solstice Backup 6.0 and 6.1, and StorEdge Enterprise Backup 6.0 through 7.2 is due to improper verification of authentication tokens. A remote attacker can modify an authentication token to gain unauthorized privilege escalation.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves the possibility of an unauthenticated attacker taking control of the backup system, potentially leading to compromise of confidentiality and integrity of backup data.
