Code injection in Pure Storage FlashArray Purity allows remote authenticated users with array-admin access to execute arbitrary commands. Pure Storage has not disclosed the affected interface, function, input, or the operation that mishandles that input. Exploitation requires the high-privilege array-admin role and escalates privileges across a security boundary on the array.
