## Technical details

Dell PowerFlex Manager versions prior to 4.8 contain a CWE-829 (Inclusion of Functionality from Untrusted Control Sphere) vulnerability. This flaw allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to potentially execute malicious functionality or access sensitive data by influencing the application to include resources from an untrusted source. Exploitation requires a high level of complexity and user interaction (UI:R), such as a legitimate user clicking a crafted link. If successful, the attacker can achieve significant information disclosure. Dell has released version 4.8 and subsequent patches (such as 4.5.5.2 and 5.1.0.1) to remediate this issue.
