CVE-2026-79682

Root command execution via undisclosed command injection

Published Sep 1, 2026 · Updated Sep 2, 2026

Command injection in Dell Technologies PowerStoreOS 4.1 and 4.3 builds allows local users with limited privileges to execute commands as root. Dell has not published the affected command-processing locus or the untrusted input that reaches a command interpreter. Exploitation requires an authenticated, low-privilege local session on the appliance and yields root-level command execution, enabling full compromise of appliance data and operation.
