CVE-2025-36591: CWE-327: Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm in Dell Elastic Cloud Storage (ECS)
Dell Elastic Cloud Storage (ECS) versions 3.8.1.0 through 3.8.1.7 and Dell ObjectScale versions prior to 4.4.0.0 contain a vulnerability due to the use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm. This flaw could be exploited by a high privileged attacker with local access to expose sensitive information. The vulnerability has a medium severity rating with a CVSS score of 4.4. No public exploits or patches are currently documented.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-36591 identifies a cryptographic weakness in Dell ECS (versions 3.8.1.0 to 3.8.1.7) and Dell ObjectScale (versions prior to 4.4.0.0) where a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm is used. This vulnerability allows a local attacker with high privileges to potentially expose sensitive information. The CVSS v3.1 score is 4.4, reflecting medium severity, with confidentiality impact but no integrity or availability impact. No vendor advisory or patch information is provided.
Potential Impact
An attacker with high privileges and local access could exploit the cryptographic weakness to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information. There is no indication of impact on integrity or availability. No known exploits are reported in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no patch or official fix information is provided, organizations should monitor Dell's advisories for updates. Restricting local access to high privileged users and auditing cryptographic configurations may reduce risk until a fix is available.
