Improper authentication in affected Pure Storage FlashArray Purity//FA releases allows remote attackers to gain privileged array access. Pure Storage has not published how the authentication path lets remote attackers employ a privileged account. The management interface must be network-reachable; successful exploitation grants remote access with that account's privileges.
