CVE-2026-22274Network attack vector

Unauthenticated Fabric Syslog interception via cleartext transport

Published Jan 23, 2026 · Updated Jan 23, 2026

Cleartext transmission in Dell ObjectScale before 4.2.0.0 allows remote attackers to intercept and modify Fabric Syslog data in transit. The Fabric Syslog sends sensitive event information over an unencrypted channel, exposing its contents and integrity to network interception. Exploitation requires unauthenticated remote access to the communication path; Dell reports limited data disclosure and modification without service interruption.
