What it is
Data is accepted without proof it came from where it claims.
How it is reached
An attacker can exploit it over the network, with an ordinary user account, and nobody has to click anything.
What an attacker gains
The direct impact is limited: partial access to data or a partial outage. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker read or tamper with traffic, or pass a forged message as genuine.
Is it being exploited?
There is no public report of exploitation yet. EPSS estimates a 0.11% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 1% of scored CVEs.
What to do
- Upgrade Dell PowerScale InsightIQ to 6.4.1 or later or later.
- Until it is patched, review who holds accounts that can reach it.
Description from NVD
Dell PowerScale InsightIQ, Version 6.4.0, contain an Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity vulnerability. A low privileged attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Information tampering.
What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- TLS termination and service-to-service channels. The flaw sits on the network path between clients and services.
- Signature checks. The flaw sits on the network path between clients and services.
Trust boundaries in play
- Authenticated network access. An account is needed, so exposure follows who can sign in: customers, partners or staff.
- On the network path between clients and services. An attacker who crosses it can read or tamper with traffic, or pass a forged message as genuine.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does Dell PowerScale InsightIQ run in your systems, and at which version?
- Which of those instances can be reached from the internet or partner networks?
- What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
