Impact

Dell PowerScale OneFS versions 9.12.0.0 through 9.13.1.0 contain an insecure temporary file vulnerability that permits a low‑privileged remote attacker to exploit improper handling of temporary files. The attacker can trigger a denial of service or tamper with information stored on the system. The weakness is defined as CWE‑377, an insecure temporary file issue.

Affected Systems

Affected systems are Dell PowerScale OneFS appliances running any release from 9.12.0.0 up to and including 9.13.1.0. No other vendors or product lines are affected by this CVE as identified by Dell.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.4 indicates a moderate severity. The EPSS score is not provided, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. An attacker would need remote network access and low privilege on the system, and would exploit the insecure temporary file handling to cause service interruption or data modification. The limited exposure and lack of a widely documented exploit path lower the immediate threat, but proper mitigation is still required.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Install the Dell PowerScale OneFS security update documented in the Dell Knowledge Base article 000505684, which addresses the insecure temporary file vulnerability.
  • Verify that the appliance is running a version newer than 9.13.1.0; if not, plan an upgrade to a patched release.
  • Configure file system permissions for temporary directories to enforce strict access controls, ensuring that only authorized processes can create or modify temporary files.
  • Monitor audit logs for suspicious temporary file activity to detect potential exploitation attempts.
