Dell PowerScale OneFS prior to version 9.12.0.0 has an improper resource shutdown or release flaw that can be triggered by an attacker who has local high privileged access. If exploited, the system may terminate critical processes or services, causing the storage appliance or its managed workloads to become unavailable. The error is a direct result of resource mismanagement and classifies as improper resource shutdown weakness.

Dell PowerScale OneFS running any release before version 9.12.0.0 is susceptible. Systems that have not applied the Dell Security Update for 9.12.0.0 or newer are at risk.

The vulnerability scores a CVSS of 4.4, indicating moderate severity. No EPSS data is currently available, and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attack requires local access with high privileges, so the threat surface is limited to physically or remotely compromised administrators. If the attacker can reach the target machine, the denial of service effect could persist until the system is rebooted or the patch applied.
