DescriptionCVE.org
Dell PowerScale OneFS versions prior to 9.13.0.0 contains an improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Unauthorized access.
Executive ViewAI
Dell PowerScale OneFS versions up to 9.13.0.0 contain a critical authentication bypass vulnerability that could allow attackers to gain unauthorized access through brute force attacks without rate limiting. This directly impacts data security for organizations relying on PowerScale systems and creates immediate risk of unauthorized access to sensitive storage infrastructure.
Implement network-level rate limiting and DDoS protection on authentication endpoints; restrict administrative access via firewall rules to known IP ranges; enable IP whitelisting for management interfaces; deploy intrusion detection/prevention system (IDS/IPS) signatures for brute force attack patterns; enforce multi-factor authentication if supported; increase monitoring frequency for authentication logs and alert on suspicious patterns; consider temporary disable of remote access if operationally feasible; network segmentation to isolate PowerScale management traffic.
