CVE-2026-22769 is a hardcoded administrative credential vulnerability affecting Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines versions before 6.0.3.1 HF1. Credentials embedded in the Apache Tomcat Manager configuration allow a remote attacker who knows them to authenticate to the management interface and deploy a malicious WAR archive. Successful exploitation permits command execution as root on the appliance and root-level persistence. UNC6201, a suspected China-nexus threat cluster, has exploited the vulnerability since at least mid-2024, deploying SLAYSTYLE, BRICKSTORM, and GRIMBOLT. RecoverPoint Classic is not affected.
