CVE-2025-43722: Dell PowerScale OneFS, versions prior to 9.12.0.0, contains an improper privilege management vulnerability.

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 26/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.13% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. Administrator privileges are required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Dell PowerScale OneFS 9.10.1.3, 9.7.1.10.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Dell PowerScale OneFS 9.10.1.3, 9.7.1.10 or later.
