Incorrect snapshot-retention timing via operator-precedence error
Published Apr 14, 2026 · Updated Apr 14, 2026
Operator-precedence logic error in FlashArray Purity allows remote authenticated users to enforce snapshot retention at the wrong time. The vendor has not disclosed the affected function or expression, but states that the defect applies retention policies earlier or later than configured. Administrative privileges are required, and the bounded consequence is incorrect retention timing rather than data disclosure or service interruption.
