Traffic disclosure and service interruption via hard-coded credentials
Published Jun 4, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
Hard-coded credentials in Dell PowerScale OneFS 8.2.x through 9.8.0.x allow remote attackers to expose traffic or interrupt service. The affected cluster configuration retains hard-coded credentials for backend switches, enabling unauthorized access to that network plane. An attacker must reach the adjacent backend network; exploitation can disclose network traffic or cause a service interruption.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
