CVE-2025-46371

Local protection mechanism bypass

Published May 22, 2026 · Updated May 22, 2026

Broken cryptography in SSH in Dell PowerFlex Manager 4.6.2 and earlier allows local users to bypass a protection mechanism. Dell has not disclosed the affected SSH algorithm, configuration locus, or the operation that incorrectly accepts or applies it. Exploitation requires low-privileged local access and high-complexity conditions; successful use bypasses the SSH protection without reported service interruption.
