CVE-2025-30476
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 InsightIQ, version 5.2, contains an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to denial of service.
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 InsightIQ version 5.2 contains an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to exhaust server resources and cause denial of service. The vulnerability is network-exploitable without authentication, making it easily reachable from the internet if the service is exposed.

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 installed InsightIQ versionRun 'insightiq --version' or check the product UI footer/About page for the exact version numberAffected if Version is exactly 5.2.0
-
Determine network exposure of InsightIQ serviceReview firewall rules and network configuration to check if ports 80/443 or the InsightIQ web interface are accessible from untrusted networksAffected if Service is exposed to internet or untrusted networks without filtering
-
Verify authentication is not bypassedConfirm the service does not allow unauthenticated access to resource-intensive endpoints; review access control configurationAffected if Unauthenticated access to the web interface is permitted without restrictions
You are affected if InsightIQ version 5.2.0 is running and the service is network-accessible to untrusted sources.
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 · scopedApply vendor-provided patches immediately; until patched, implement network-level rate limiting, connection throttling, and firewall rules to restrict access to trusted sources only.
