CVE-2024-51532

Arbitrary file modification via argument injection

Published Dec 19, 2024 · Updated Dec 24, 2024

Argument injection in Dell Technologies PowerStore before 4.0.1.0-2408234 allows local users to modify arbitrary system files. Dell identifies improper handling of command argument delimiters in proprietary code but has not disclosed the affected function, command, or input path. Exploitation requires local access and low privileges, and the resulting file writes can alter appliance state or interrupt its operation.
