CVE-2025-46371: CWE-327: Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm in Dell PowerFlex Manager (Appliance)
Dell PowerFlex Manager, version(s) <=4.6.2, contain(s) a Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm vulnerability in the ssh. A low privileged attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Protection mechanism bypass.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-46371 identifies a weakness in Dell PowerFlex Manager (Appliance) versions up to 4.6.2 where a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm is used in the SSH service. This cryptographic weakness could be exploited by a low privileged local attacker to bypass protection mechanisms. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-327. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 3.6, reflecting low severity with low confidentiality and integrity impact and no availability impact. No vendor advisory or patch information is currently available.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows a low privileged local attacker to potentially bypass protection mechanisms due to the use of a weak cryptographic algorithm in SSH. The impact on confidentiality and integrity is low, and there is no impact on availability. There are no known exploits in the wild, reducing immediate risk.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, limit local access to trusted users only and monitor for unusual activity related to SSH on affected systems.
