Local file modification via path traversal
Published Apr 1, 2026 · Updated Apr 1, 2026
Path traversal in Dell Technologies PowerStore before 4.4.0.0-2692403 allows local users to modify arbitrary system files. Dell identifies the affected context only as the Service user and has not published the command, path-processing operation, or validation failure. Exploitation requires low-privilege local access; the documented consequence is limited to file modification and resulting integrity or availability effects.
