Local privileged-information disclosure
Published Nov 3, 2022 · Updated May 2, 2025
Improper privilege management in HPE Nimble Storage Adaptive Flash Arrays before 5.2.1.900 and 5.3.0.0 allows local users to read privileged data. HPE has not disclosed the affected component or the operation that improperly permits access to protected information. Low-privileged local access and user interaction are required, and successful exploitation exposes privileged data on the array.
