|
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an attacker to already possess a low-privileged authenticated account (PR:L) within the environment running Dell Container Storage Modules and to have read access to the log files that the modules generate; the vulnerability is the module writing sensitive information into those logs (CWE-532). Limiting factors: this is not a default-configuration unauthenticated flaw - the attacker needs a valid foothold and log visibility, no user interaction is required (UI:N), and impact is confined to disclosure of whatever sensitive data lands in the logs (confidentiality only, no integrity or availability effect). Affected versions are those prior to 1.18.0. |
| Impact | This is a moderate, not top-tier, priority. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, base 6.5) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw that nonetheless requires existing low-level privileges (PR:L) and yields only confidentiality impact (C:H, with no integrity or availability effect) - consistent with CWE-532, where sensitive data (likely credentials, tokens, or configuration secrets) is written to log files readable by an already-authenticated low-privileged user. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or SSVC decision data was supplied, and no public exploit is identified, so there is no signal of active or probable exploitation; the risk is therefore driven by the vendor's CVSS alone. The 'remote' and C:H framing could overstate real-world urgency because exploitation presupposes an attacker who already holds a low-privileged account on the cluster/platform and can read the logs - a meaningful precondition the raw score does not foreground. No conflicting signals were found between the vector and the description (both agree on authenticated, confidentiality-only disclosure), but EPSS, KEV, SSVC, and POC status are all MISSING from the input and should be checked against CISA KEV and the Dell advisory before final prioritization. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who already holds a low-privileged account on a Kubernetes environment running Dell Container Storage Modules reads module-generated log files and recovers sensitive information (such as credentials or secrets) that the software inadvertently wrote in cleartext. No public exploit code is identified; given AV:N/AC:L, exploitation is technically simple once log read access is obtained, but it depends on the attacker first having a valid low-privileged foothold. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 06, 2026
Log-file information disclosure in Dell Container Storage Modules (CSM) versions prior to 1.18.0 allows a low-privileged but authenticated remote user to obtain sensitive data that the components write into their own log files (CWE-532). The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N (6.5) confirms confidentiality-only impact with no integrity or availability effect, and exploitation presupposes that the attacker already holds a valid account plus read access to the generated logs, making this a moderate rather than a top-tier priority. No public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Dell Container Storage Modules to 1.18.0 or later, which is the vendor-released fix boundary for this issue, following the component-by-component guidance in Dell Security Advisory DSA-2026-448 (https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000515771/dsa-2026-448-security-update-for-dell-container-storage-modules-multiple-vulnerabilities); because that advisory bundles multiple vulnerabilities, apply the full CSM update rather than cherry-picking. Until the upgrade is deployed, the effective compensating control is to deny untrusted principals read access to module logs: tighten log file and directory permissions on nodes, restrict RBAC on any log-aggregation or observability stack that ingests CSM output, and limit namespace-level pod-log access - the trade-off is reduced troubleshooting capability for operators who lose visibility. Lowering the modules' log verbosity (for example to info/warn rather than debug/trace levels) reduces how much sensitive data reaches disk, at the cost of losing diagnostic detail during incident response. Treat any sensitive values - array credentials, tokens, connection strings - that may already have been written to logs as compromised and rotate them, and avoid shipping raw CSM logs to third-party systems that are broadly readable. No vendor-released patch for versions below 1.18.0 is identified beyond the 1.18.0 upgrade.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Dell Container Storage Modules are the Kubernetes-side components that expose Dell storage arrays (PowerStore, PowerFlex, PowerScale, PowerMax and similar) to container workloads through CSI drivers, authorization, replication, observability and resiliency modules. The root cause is CWE-532, Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File: code paths log values that should be redacted - typically storage-array credentials, API tokens, session identifiers or connection details - into container, controller and node log streams. The provided CPE entry cpe:2.3:a:dell:container_storage_modules:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* carries no version bounds, so the authoritative affected range is the one stated by the vendor: all releases before 1.18.0. The security boundary here is not reachability of the code but visibility of the logs, which in a Kubernetes deployment is frequently broader than intended because log files are written to shared node paths, collected by DaemonSets, or forwarded to central aggregators that many cluster tenants can query. Because the vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N, a network-reachable, low-privileged authenticated principal who can read those logs can harvest the leaked secrets without any user interaction.
