CVE-2025-36572Network attack vector

Unauthorized account access via embedded credentials

Published May 28, 2025 · Updated May 28, 2025

Use of hard-coded credentials in Dell PowerStore before 4.0.1.3-2494147 allows remote authenticated users to access a privileged account. The PowerStore image file embeds credentials for an account instead of requiring a deployment-specific secret. Exploitation requires low-privileged remote access and knowledge of those credentials; resulting access is bounded by the embedded account's privileges.
