An arbitrary command injection vulnerability in the Cluster Server component of Veritas InfoScale allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands as root or administrator. These Veritas products are affected: Access 7.4.2 and earlier, Access Appliance 7.4.2 and earlier, Flex Appliance 1.2 and earlier, InfoScale 7.3.1 and earlier, InfoScale between 7.4.0 and 7.4.1, Veritas Cluster Server (VCS) 6.2.1 and earlier on Linux/UNIX, Veritas Cluster Server (VCS) 6.1 and earlier on Windows, Storage Foundation HA (SFHA) 6.2.1 and earlier on Linux/UNIX, and Storage Foundation HA (SFHA) 6.1 and earlier on Windows.
This vulnerability carries a CRITICAL severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 9.8, indicating it can be exploited remotely over the network with relatively low complexity without requiring user interaction and does not require pre-existing privileges . The vulnerability impacts confidentiality (data exposure), integrity (unauthorized modifications), and availability (service disruption) for affected systems. Impacting 8 products from veritas, from veritas, from veritas and 5 others, organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.
First disclosed in 2019, this vulnerability was reported during a period defined by widespread IoT adoption challenges, mobile security concerns, and the emergence of advanced persistent threat (APT) techniques. Contemporary mitigation strategies focused on secure development practices and third-party component vetting.

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For veritas's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
