CVE-2022-31232Network attack vector

Unauthenticated command execution via undisclosed input handling

Published Aug 30, 2022 · Updated Sep 17, 2024

Command injection in Dell SmartFabric Storage Software 1.0.0 allows remote attackers to gain access and perform actions on the appliance. Dell ties the flaw to the RADIUS/TACACS authentication path through its libnss_sac enablement file, but has not disclosed the input field or command construction error. No authentication or user interaction is required; command execution can read or change data and interrupt the service, while the exact execution privileges remain undisclosed.
