VAR-201505-0258
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-13 23:31The GMS ViewPoint (GMSVP) web application in Dell Sonicwall GMS, Analyzer, and UMA EM5000 before 7.2 SP4 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands via vectors related to configuration. Supplementary information : CWE Vulnerability type by CWE-19: Data Handling ( Data processing ) Has been identified. Authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability.The specific flaw exists within the GMS ViewPoint (GMSVP) web application. The issue lies in the handling of configuration input due to a failure to safely sanitize user data before executing a command. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute code with root privileges on the underlying operating system. Multiple Dell SonicWALL Products are prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability. Successful exploitation can completely compromise the vulnerable device. GMS is a global management system for rapid deployment and centralized management of SonicWALL infrastructure. Analyzer is a set of network analyzer software for SonicWALL infrastructure. UMA EM5000 is a set of general management equipment software. The following products and versions are affected: Dell Sonicwall GMS 7.2 SP3 and earlier, Analyzer 7.2 SP3 and earlier, UMA EM5000 7.2 SP3 and earlier

Nomenclature
- Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
- Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
- Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
- Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
- Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
Vulnerability timeline
Sightings and recorded dates, grouped by day · UTC
How durations are calculated
Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.
Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.

Vulnerabilities whose description is nearest to this one in the vector space of the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-biencoder model. This is a similarity search over the bi-encoder space (plain cosine), not a classification, and it has no measured accuracy.
