Published Aug 15, 2023 · Updated Nov 4, 2025

Insecure folder creation in Broadcom LSI Storage Authority before 7.017.011.000 allows remote attackers to gain root privileges. The Web GUI creates folders without preserving the intended privilege boundary; Broadcom has not disclosed the paths or permission bits. Intel confirms that the same flaw affects RAID Web Console 3, and network access requires neither prior privileges nor user interaction.
