Local file access via incorrect default permissions

Published Jan 17, 2023 · Updated Apr 3, 2025

Incorrect default permissions in Hitachi Tuning Manager before 8.8.5-00 allow local users to read and write specific files on Linux. Hitachi identifies the server and RAID, NAS, and SAN Switch agents as affected, but has not disclosed the files or permission-setting operation involved. Access requires a local low-privileged account and is limited publicly to reading and writing unspecified files; no remote path is reported.
