Technical details

Dell PowerFlex Manager is vulnerable to a Missing Authentication for Critical Function (CWE-306). The flaw exists because certain sensitive operations within the management interface do not properly verify the identity of the requester. An unauthenticated attacker with adjacent network access (on the same local network or subnet) can exploit this to perform administrative actions. Successful exploitation can lead to remote code execution (RCE), denial of service (DoS), script injection, and full unauthorized access to the system. Dell has released security updates in versions 4.5.5.2 and 5.1.0.1 to address this issue.
