AI Analysis

Impact

Dell PowerFlex Manager versions up to 4.6.2 include a use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm in the SSH component. An attacker with low privileges and local access could exploit this flaw, allowing the bypass of protection mechanisms. This results in the attacker gaining additional permissions or executing privileged operations beyond their authorized scope, a weakness identified as CWE-327.

Affected Systems

Affected systems are Dell PowerFlex Manager, including the standard, appliance, and rack variants, all running any revision 4.6.2 or earlier.

Risk and Exploitability

Based on the description, it is inferred that the CVSS score of 3.6 indicates low severity, and the EPSS score was not published, implying a low likelihood of known exploitation. Based on the description, it is inferred that the vulnerability requires local access by a low‑privileged user, so remote exploitation is unlikely. The risk is mitigated by enforcing least‑privilege local accounts and monitoring for misuse. No CISA KEV listing is present.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply Dell PowerFlex Manager security updates when they are released, as specified in Dell's support documentation.
  • Upgrade to any Dell PowerFlex Manager version newer than 4.6.2.
  • Limit local accounts that can access SSH and enforce strong cipher suites to avoid weak cryptographic algorithms.
