Critical
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Dell Storage Manager versions prior to 16.3.20
Description
The issue concerns a hard-coded password used to protect the SMI-S service. A remote user who knows this password could potentially disable the SMI-S service by sending HTTP requests, which would impact storage management and monitoring functionality via the SMI-S interface. This issue only affects Windows installations of the Data Collector.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 16.3.20, update to version 16.3.20 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the SMI-S service to minimize the risk of exploitation.
Fix
Using Hardcoded Credentials
