| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires LOCAL access (AV:L) to a host or Kubernetes node running Dell Container Storage Modules at a version prior to 1.18.0; the flaw cannot be triggered over the network. The root cause (CWE-330) is the use of insufficiently random values - predictable identifiers, tokens, or keys generated by CSM - which a locally present actor can observe or predict to tamper with information (I:H) and impact availability (A:H). No authentication is needed once local access exists (PR:N) and no user interaction is required (UI:N). The primary limiting factor is the local-access prerequisite, which confines risk to environments where untrusted actors can reach CSM-managed hosts; there is no confidentiality exposure (C:N). |
| Impact | This is a moderate-priority issue rather than a high-urgency one despite its 7.7 (High) CVSS base score. The CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H is the decisive signal: the attack vector is LOCAL (AV:L), meaning the attacker must already have local access to the host or container environment running Dell Container Storage Modules - this is not a remotely reachable flaw. Although PR:N marks it unauthenticated, that lack of authentication only matters once local access is obtained, which substantially raises the practical bar. The high score is driven entirely by the I:H and A:H impact (integrity tampering and availability), with no confidentiality impact (C:N). No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, or public POC was provided in the input, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation. There is a data conflict worth flagging: the input Tags include 'Information Disclosure,' yet the CVSS vector sets C:N and the description explicitly states 'Information tampering' - this points to an integrity/tampering issue, not disclosure, so the tag appears mislabeled. Net: a genuine but access-gated defense-in-depth concern best handled through normal patch cycles rather than emergency response, prioritized where untrusted local actors could reach CSM-managed nodes. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who already has local access to a Kubernetes node or container host running Dell Container Storage Modules leverages the insufficiently random values (CWE-330) - such as predictable identifiers, tokens, or keys - to forge or tamper with storage-related information and disrupt availability. Because the CVSS vector is AV:L, remote exploitation is not possible; the attacker must first be present on the host. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 06, 2026
Predictable, insufficiently random values in Dell Container Storage Modules (CSM) before 1.18.0 allow an unauthenticated attacker with local access to a host or Kubernetes node to tamper with information and degrade availability (CVSS 7.7, C:N/I:H/A:H). The flaw cannot be triggered over the network - it requires local presence on a CSM-managed node - and needs no user interaction, while confidentiality is unaffected. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the local-access prerequisite keeps this a moderate-priority issue rather than a high-urgency one despite its High base score.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade Dell Container Storage Modules to 1.18.0 or later. Dell's advisory states that all releases prior to 1.18.0 are affected, making 1.18.0 the first fixed version (DSA-2026-448: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000515771/dsa-2026-448-security-update-for-dell-container-storage-modules-multiple-vulnerabilities). The upgrade requires replacing the controller and node-level CSM components in each cluster, so schedule it in a maintenance window and verify pod versions after rollout. Because the vector is AV:L with PR:N, the only effective compensating control before patching is to remove local access paths to CSM-managed nodes: restrict SSH and interactive login, tighten cluster RBAC so that kubectl exec, attach, and privileged or debug pods cannot be used to reach CSM node containers, and audit node-level accounts. The trade-off is reduced administrator convenience, since node troubleshooting and recovery must go through controlled, audited channels, and it provides no protection against an attacker who already holds node-level credentials. Network segmentation or ingress filtering is not a meaningful mitigation here, as the flaw cannot be triggered remotely; effort is better spent on host and node access controls until 1.18.0 is deployed.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Dell Container Storage Modules (CSM) is a suite of Kubernetes storage components - CSI drivers and related modules for Dell storage platforms - that run as controller and node-level pods across cluster hosts. CVE-2026-76105 is classified as CWE-330 (Use of Insufficiently Random Values): the weakness lies in values CSM generates for its own operations (identifiers, tokens, session or state values) that are produced with insufficient entropy and are therefore predictable or guessable by an actor already present on the node. The CPE entry cpe:2.3:a:dell:container_storage_modules:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* is version-agnostic, so the affected range is defined by Dell's advisory rather than the CPE string: all releases prior to 1.18.0. The assessed vector AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H describes the practical shape of the flaw - low complexity, no privileges or user interaction required once local access exists, high integrity and availability impact, and no confidentiality impact. Note that the supplied tags include 'Information Disclosure', which is not corroborated by the assessed vector; the impact is information tampering (integrity) plus availability with C:N, so the tag should not be used to claim data exposure.

Lifecycle Timeline

Dell Container Storage Modules, versions prior to 1.18.0 contain(s) an Use of Insufficiently Random Values vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Information tampering.
Executive ViewAI
CVE-2026-76105 affects Dell Container Storage Modules, where an attacker who already has local presence on a managed host or Kubernetes node could tamper with data and degrade storage availability for the workloads that depend on it. The local-access precondition and the absence of public exploit code mean exposure is contained rather than broad, but any team running containerized storage on unpatched CSM versions carries real operational risk. Leadership should care because degraded or altered storage can interrupt service delivery and undermine confidence in the integrity of business data, even without a remote attack path.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: restrict local and administrative access to CSM-managed hosts and Kubernetes nodes to essential personnel, enforce least-privilege RBAC and node-level access controls, enable session and audit logging with monitoring for unexpected storage or configuration changes, isolate high-value clusters, and maintain tested offline backups to support recovery if availability is degraded.
