Local privilege escalation through missing critical-function authentication
Published Feb 1, 2024 · Updated Jun 17, 2025
Missing authentication in Dell Technologies PowerScale OneFS 9.0.0.x through 9.6.0.x allows local users to gain elevated access. Dell has not disclosed the affected critical function or the exact operation that omits authentication, leaving the code-level mechanism unspecified. Exploitation requires a low-privileged account granted ISI_PRIV_LOGIN_SSH or ISI_PRIV_LOGIN_CONSOLE, and the resulting access can affect data and service availability.
