CVE-2022-31230
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedDell PowerScale OneFS, versions 8.2.x-9.2.x, contain broken or risky cryptographic algorithm. A remote unprivileged malicious attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to full system access.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceDell PowerScale OneFS versions 8.2.x-9.2.x contain a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm that can be exploited by a remote unprivileged attacker to potentially gain full system access.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify PowerScale OneFS versionRun 'isi version' or 'isi_get_versions' command on the OneFS CLI to retrieve the installed software versionAffected if Version output shows a build older than 9.3.0 but equal to or greater than 8.2.0
-
Confirm the exact version stringCheck the full version output including minor version numbers (e.g., 8.2.0 through 9.2.x) - compare the numeric version against the vulnerable range >= 8.2.0 and < 9.3.0Affected if Version falls within the 8.2.0 to 9.2.x range inclusive
-
Verify network exposureDetermine if the OneFS management interfaces (SSH, web UI, API ports) are accessible from untrusted networksAffected if The system is reachable from remote/untrusted networks and runs a vulnerable version
-
Review authentication configurationInspect whether local authentication or the built-in cryptographic authentication mechanisms are in use for cluster accessAffected if Vulnerable version is running with external network access
If the installed Dell PowerScale OneFS version is 8.2.0 or higher but below 9.3.0 and is network-accessible, the environment is affected by this cryptographic vulnerability.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped9.3.0
Apply vendor-provided security patches or upgrade to a patched version of Dell PowerScale OneFS to replace the vulnerable cryptographic implementation.
OneFS 9.3.0 or later
- 1. Backup all critical data and configurations on the PowerScale OneFS cluster
- 2. Schedule a maintenance window for the upgrade process
- 3. Download the OneFS 9.3.0 or later ISO/image from Dell Support portal
- 4. Boot the cluster into upgrade mode and apply the OneFS 9.3.0+ software update
- 5. Verify the upgrade completed successfully and all services are operational
- 6. Confirm the OneFS version is now >= 9.3.0 by running 'isi version' or checking the web administration console
