CVE-2026-22769 · Severity 10.0 · Hardcoded credentials in Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines.
The @[CISA](urn:li:organization:13010360) has issued an emergency 3-day patch order for this maximum-severity flaw. Evidence shows that China-nexus espionage groups have been exploiting this since mid-2024 to move laterally across virtualized environments.
Attackers are using “Ghost NICs” to quietly pivot through compromised networks without triggering standard EDR alarms. This vulnerability in @[Dell Technologies](urn:li:organization:1193) infrastructure allows for unauthorized access to the core of your disaster recovery stack.
The uncomfortable truth: Your disaster recovery environment is often the least monitored and most vulnerable part of your infrastructure.
→ Patch @[Dell Technologies](urn:li:organization:1193) RecoverPoint for VMs to version 6.0.3.1 HF1 or later today.
→ Rotate all administrative passwords for your virtualization management layer.
→ Search for the presence of the Brickstorm or Grimbolt malware families within your VM clusters.
