CVE-2026-22769 is a hardcoded-credential vulnerability in Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines versions before 6.0.3.1 HF1. Embedded administrator credentials allow a remote attacker who knows them to authenticate to the appliance's Apache Tomcat Manager, deploy a malicious WAR application, and execute commands as root. Successful exploitation enables unauthorized operating-system access and root-level persistence. UNC6201, a suspected PRC-nexus threat cluster, exploited the vulnerability as a zero-day since at least mid-2024, deploying SLAYSTYLE, BRICKSTORM, and GRIMBOLT. RecoverPoint Classic is not affected.
