Dell PowerStore suffers a protection mechanism failure that allows an authenticated user with limited privileges to bypass built‑in access controls and gain elevated permissions. The flaw can be leveraged to obtain privileges beyond the user’s intended scope, potentially enabling further exploitation of the system.

The vulnerability affects Dell PowerStore storage arrays, including the 1000T, 1200T, 3000T, 3200Q, 3200T, 5000T, 500T, 5200Q, 5200T, 7000T, 9000T, and 9200T models. Specific version information is not listed in the data available.

With a CVSS score of 8.8, the vulnerability is categorized as high severity. The exploit probability is not quantified in EPSS, and the vulnerability is not currently listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. The attack requires an authenticated user with limited privileges; no public or unauthenticated vector is described, so an attacker must first obtain or brute‑force legitimate credentials to leverage the flaw.
