CVE-2025-32749
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 PowerFlex Manager, version(s) <=4.6.2, contain(s) an Exposure of Information Through Directory Listing vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Information exposure.
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 PowerFlex Manager versions 4.6.2 and below have an Exposure of Information Through Directory Listing vulnerability. An unauthenticated remote attacker can access directory indexes that expose file listings, potentially revealing sensitive system files, configurations, or data that should not be publicly accessible.

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 product versionLocate the version of Dell PowerFlex Manager, PowerFlex Appliance Intelligent Catalog, or PowerFlex Rack installed in your environment. Consult the product's About or Version section in the management interface, or use the vendor-provided CLI tool or configuration file that displays the installed software version.Affected if The installed version is Dell Powerflex Manager <= 4.6.2, Dell Powerflex Appliance Intelligent Catalog < 48.383.00, or Dell Powerflex Rack < 3.7.8.0
-
Verify web server directory listing configurationInspect the web server configuration files (such as Apache httpd.conf, Nginx.conf, or the equivalent configuration for the embedded web server) for directives that enable directory listing, such as 'Options Indexes' or 'autoindex on'. This is typically found in the main configuration file or in virtual host sections serving the application.Affected if The web server configuration contains 'Options Indexes', 'Indexes', or 'autoindex on' directives that allow directory listing for any application directories
-
Test for exposed directory contentsUsing a web browser or curl command, attempt to access the root URL of the PowerFlex web interface and common subdirectories (such as /, /api, /scripts, /config, /logs, or /ui) without specifying a default index file. Observe whether the server returns a directory listing showing file contents instead of a 403 Forbidden or a default index page.Affected if Accessing application directories returns a directory listing showing file and folder contents rather than blocking access or serving a default document
Your environment is affected if the installed product version falls within the affected ranges AND the web server is configured to allow directory listing, which can be confirmed by successfully retrieving directory listings from the web interface.
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.
From vendor data3.7.8.048.383.00
Update Dell PowerFlex Manager to a version beyond 4.6.2, or disable directory listing/indexing on the affected web server components to prevent unauthenticated enumeration of directory contents.
