Published Jun 23, 2020 · Updated Sep 17, 2024

Authorization bypass in Dell Unisphere for PowerMax before 9.1.0.17 allows remote authenticated users to alter or stop database statistics. Dell identifies client-side enforcement of server-side security but does not disclose the affected request handler or authorization decision. Low-privileged network access to the management interface is required, and the documented consequence is limited to database-statistics integrity and availability.
