Unauthenticated remote directory listing is low-complexity (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N); confidentiality assessed C:L as it typically discloses filenames/paths rather than full sensitive contents, with no integrity or availability impact.

DescriptionNVD

Dell PowerFlex Manager, version(s) <=4.6.2, contain(s) an Exposure of Information Through Directory Listing vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Information exposure.

AnalysisAI

Information exposure in Dell PowerFlex Manager (Appliance, Rack, and standalone) versions <=4.6.2 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to read directory listings served by the management interface, exposing file and path names that can reveal sensitive configuration and system details. The flaw is remotely reachable without credentials or user interaction (CVSS 7.5), but there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS estimates exploitation probability at just 0.02%. CISA's SSVC framework rates exploitation as 'none' and technical impact as 'partial,' indicating a genuine but non-critical disclosure issue rather than a code-execution threat.

Technical ContextAI

Dell PowerFlex Manager is the centralized management console for Dell's PowerFlex software-defined storage platform, deployed as an appliance, in rack-integrated form, and as a standalone manager. The vulnerability stems from directory listing being enabled on the web server component, so that requests to directory paths return an index of their contents instead of a forbidden or default response. Although the record tags this as CWE-276 (Incorrect Default Permissions), the description characterizes it as Exposure of Information Through Directory Listing (conceptually CWE-548) - the root cause is a misconfigured/default web server permission that leaves directory indexing active, letting an unauthenticated client enumerate filenames and paths that should not be publicly browsable. The affected CPEs cover cpe:2.3:a:dell:powerflex_manager_(appliance), cpe:2.3:a:dell:powerflex_manager_(rack), and cpe:2.3:a:dell:powerflex_manager.

RemediationAI

Patch available per vendor advisory: upgrade PowerFlex Manager (Rack) to 3.7.8.0 / 3.8.3.0 or later, PowerFlex Manager (Appliance) to IC 48.378.00 / IC 48.383.00 or later, and standalone PowerFlex Manager to a release above 4.6.2, following Dell DSA-2025-435 (Rack, https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000391568/) and DSA-2025-434 (Appliance, https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000391392/). Until patching completes, restrict network reachability of the PowerFlex Manager web interface to a dedicated management VLAN or jump host and block untrusted/internet access to its HTTP(S) ports, which reduces exposure but requires administrators to reach the console from approved networks only. If the underlying web server configuration is administrator-accessible, disabling directory indexing (autoindex/directory listing) on the management web root is a targeted mitigation, though this should only be done in coordination with Dell support to avoid affecting appliance-managed configuration and support processes.
