4DescriptionCVE.org
Dell PowerStore contains an Incorrect Authorization vulnerability. An authenticated attacker with low privileges could potentially exploit this vulnerability to invoke administrator-only operations, leading to privilege escalation.
AnalysisAI
Privilege escalation in Dell PowerStore storage appliances allows an authenticated low-privilege user to invoke administrator-only management operations via the network, resulting in full confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise of the storage system. The flaw stems from incorrect authorization checks (CWE-863), where the system fails to enforce proper privilege boundaries on API or management interface operations. …
