Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires network reachability to the Dell PowerFlex Manager web interface (typically HTTPS on the management network) at version 4.6.2 or earlier, with no authentication, user interaction, or special configuration toggle needed per the CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N - directory listing is exposed in the default shipped configuration. The primary limiting factor is deployment topology: PowerFlex Manager is intended to live on an isolated management network, so practical exploitation is gated by whether an attacker can reach that network (insider, compromised jump host, misconfigured firewall, or accidental internet exposure). Severity is also bounded by what sensitive content actually resides in the listable directories - installations whose served directories contain only static UI assets face lower real impact than those exposing logs, backups, or configuration dumps.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N is internally consistent: network-reachable, low complexity, no auth, no user interaction, and a pure confidentiality impact rated High - appropriate for a directory listing that may expose configuration files, backups, or credentials. EPSS data was not provided in the input and the CVE is not listed in CISA KEV, so probability of exploitation cannot be quantitatively asserted. The C:H rating is somewhat optimistic for a generic directory listing flaw unless sensitive artifacts are actually reachable; absent a public PoC or technical write-up, real-world risk depends heavily on what files the listed directories contain and whether the management interface is exposed beyond a trusted management network - a configuration Dell explicitly discourages. Treat as a high-priority patch for any PowerFlex Manager whose web UI is reachable from untrusted networks, and as moderate priority for properly segmented deployments.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who can reach the PowerFlex Manager HTTPS interface - for example, after pivoting onto a flat management network or finding an internet-exposed instance - issues unauthenticated GET requests to predictable directory paths and receives auto-generated HTML index pages enumerating filenames. The attacker harvests configuration files, log fragments, backup artifacts, or installer payloads disclosed by the listing and uses them to map the environment or stage follow-on attacks against the storage fabric. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the attack requires only a web browser or curl.

AnalysisAIv1 – May 20, 2026

Information disclosure in Dell PowerFlex Manager (Appliance, Rack, and core Manager) versions 4.6.2 and earlier allows unauthenticated remote attackers to enumerate server contents through exposed directory listings. The flaw carries a CVSS 7.5 (high) rating driven entirely by confidentiality impact and requires no privileges or user interaction, though no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not on CISA KEV.

RemediationAI

Patch available per vendor advisory - upgrade Dell PowerFlex Manager to a release later than 4.6.2 as specified in Dell DSA-2025-434 (Appliance, https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000391392) and DSA-2025-435 (Rack, https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000391568); the exact fixed build is not enumerated in the input data and should be confirmed against the live advisory. Until the upgrade is applied, restrict network access to the PowerFlex Manager web interface so it is reachable only from a dedicated management VLAN or jump host, which is Dell's recommended deployment posture and prevents anonymous internet or general-LAN access; the trade-off is that any admin workflow currently relying on broader reachability (for example, browser access from a user subnet) will break and must be moved behind the jump host or VPN. If a web application firewall fronts the management UI, add a rule to block requests to URIs that end in '/' and return auto-generated index pages, accepting the side effect that legitimate directory-browsing features (if any) will also be blocked.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Dell PowerFlex Manager is the management plane for Dell's software-defined storage and hyperconverged infrastructure stack (PowerFlex Appliance and PowerFlex Rack), providing lifecycle management, provisioning, and monitoring of compute and storage nodes. The root cause is CWE-548 (Exposure of Information Through Directory Listing), typically caused by a web server or application server (Apache, nginx, or an embedded Java container) configured to auto-generate index pages when no default document is present in a served directory. Per Dell's DSA-2025-434 and DSA-2025-435, this issue is bundled with multiple third-party component vulnerabilities, suggesting the directory listing is exposed by an underlying packaged web component rather than custom Dell application code.

DescriptionCVE.org

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.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Dell PowerFlex Manager versions 4.6.2 and earlier contain an information disclosure vulnerability allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to enumerate sensitive server contents through exposed directory listings. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and no vendor-released patch is currently available. Organizations must immediately implement network access controls to contain ongoing exposure from this unpatched vulnerability affecting enterprise storage infrastructure.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Network access controls including firewall rules, IP allowlisting, and VLAN isolation to restrict unauthenticated connections to management interfaces. Implement comprehensive audit logging and behavioral monitoring to detect unauthorized enumeration attempts. Deploy air-gapping or proxied access controls where feasible to limit exposure to trusted administrative networks.
