Published Apr 30, 2021 · Updated Sep 17, 2024
Authorization bypass in Dell Unisphere for PowerMax before 9.2.1.6 allows local users with the monitor role to perform unauthorized actions. Dell has not published the affected authorization check or how monitor-role requests bypass it. Exploitation requires an authenticated monitor-role account; the bounded impact is unauthorized action execution that can alter data or interrupt service.
