Dell's PowerProtect Data Manager and various laptop models are vulnerable. The developers have closed several software vulnerabilities in current versions. So far, there have been no reports of attackers exploiting the vulnerabilities.
Security problems
In a warning message, the developers state that PowerProtect Data Manager is vulnerable via numerous gaps in third-party components such as Golang and Spring Framework, but also via gaps in the application itself. If attacks are successful, attackers can gain higher user rights with local access and low rights (CVE-2025-23375 “high”).
The developers assure that they have closed the gaps in PowerProtect Data Manager 19.19.0-15.

Due to several vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-530033 “high”, CVE-2025-530034 “high”) in the Qualcomm chipset driver, attacks on various laptop series are conceivable. The affected models are listed in an article. Attackers can trigger memory errors here. This usually leads to crashes. However, malicious code can also often get onto systems. The driver 2.1.0.30 provides a remedy.
