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 · unedited
Dell PowerScale OneFS, 8.2.0 through 9.3.0, contain an User Interface Security Issue. An unauthenticated remote user could unintentionally lead an administrator to enable this vulnerability, leading to disclosure of information.

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 confidence

Dell PowerScale OneFS versions 8.2.0 through 9.3.0 contain a UI security vulnerability where an unauthenticated remote attacker can manipulate an administrator into enabling a vulnerable configuration, leading to information disclosure. The CVSS 6.5 score indicates network-exploitable, low-privilege information exposure.

MitigationUpgrade to a patched Dell PowerScale OneFS version beyond 9.3.0, and review administrator UI session configurations to prevent unintended security setting modifications by unauthenticated users.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Determine the installed PowerScale OneFS version
    Run 'isi version' or check the OneFS web UI footer for the version number
    Affected if The installed version falls within 9.1.0.0 through 9.1.0.24, 9.2.1.0 through 9.2.1.17, or 9.4.0.0 through 9.4.0.8
  2. Identify the OneFS UI session configuration settings
    Access the PowerScale OneFS web administration UI, navigate to Session settings or Security settings under the administrative interface
    Affected if A session configuration allows unauthenticated users to influence or modify security-related settings
  3. Check for external UI redirect or manipulation vectors
    Review the OneFS UI configuration for settings that control URL redirection, external resource loading, or user-initiated configuration changes from unauthenticated contexts
    Affected if The UI permits unauthenticated attackers to trigger actions that modify security configurations through social engineering of administrators
  4. Audit recent UI configuration changes
    Review OneFS audit logs or system logs for any recent changes to UI security settings, particularly those related to session management or information exposure
    Affected if Audit logs show unexpected or unauthorized modifications to UI security configurations

You are affected if your PowerScale OneFS version is 9.1.0.0-9.1.0.24, 9.2.1.0-9.2.1.17, or 9.4.0.0-9.4.0.8 AND your administrative UI allows unauthenticated users to manipulate security settings that can lead to information disclosure.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 9.1.0.25 / 9.2.1.18 / 9.4.0.9 or later
Fixed in 9.1.0.259.2.1.189.4.0.9
Interim mitigation

Upgrade to a patched Dell PowerScale OneFS version beyond 9.3.0, and review administrator UI session configurations to prevent unintended security setting modifications by unauthenticated users.

Recommended fix High confidence

Upgrade to OneFS 9.1.0.25, 9.2.1.18, 9.4.0.9 or later (choose the appropriate branch for your deployment)

  1. 1. Back up all critical data and cluster configuration before initiating any upgrade
  2. 2. Verify current OneFS version by running 'isi version' or checking the web UI
  3. 3. Download the appropriate fixed OneFS ISO image (9.1.0.25, 9.2.1.18, or 9.4.0.9 or later) from Dell Support portal at www.dell.com
  4. 4. Upload the ISO to the cluster using 'isi imaging' or the web UI
  5. 5. Initiate the upgrade following Dell PowerScale OneFS upgrade documentation (typically isi upgrade start)
  6. 6. Monitor the upgrade progress and allow sufficient time for completion
  7. 7. After upgrade, verify the new version with 'isi version' and confirm the vulnerability is resolved
Caveat Enterprise storage upgrades carry risk; follow Dell migration guides and test in staging first; some older features may be deprecated in newer major releases
