Local privilege escalation via symlink following

Symlink following in Dell AppSync, Metro Node, PowerMax, Unity, VxRail, UCC Edge, and PowerFlex products allows local users to gain elevated privileges. Dell has disclosed only that affected components follow an attacker-controlled UNIX symbolic link; no public advisory, CVE record, or patch diff retrieved here names the file path, operation, or code path that dereferences it. Exploitation requires local low-privileged access and user interaction per Dell's CVSS vector, so exposure depends on whether untrusted local users can place symlinks where these products later access privileged files.
