Malicious binary installation via signature-check bypass
Published Jun 22, 2023 · Updated Dec 4, 2024
Improper signature verification in Dell PowerStore before 3.5 allows attackers to induce a high-privileged user to install a malicious binary. Dell has not disclosed the affected installer or how a crafted binary bypasses its cryptographic signature checks. Exploitation requires local access, high privileges, and user interaction, and results in installation of attacker-supplied code on the storage appliance.
