Dell PowerFlex Manager, version(s) 4.6.0.1, contain(s) an Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Information disclosure and Information tampering.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-40641 identifies a cryptographic weakness in Dell PowerFlex Manager 4.6.0.1 where a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm is used. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication, potentially leading to unauthorized disclosure and tampering of information. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network attack vector, high attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and impacts confidentiality and integrity with no impact on availability. No vendor advisory or patch information is currently available to confirm remediation status.
Potential Impact
An unauthenticated remote attacker could exploit the cryptographic weakness to disclose sensitive information and tamper with data within Dell PowerFlex Manager 4.6.0.1. The impact affects confidentiality and integrity but does not affect availability. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, consider limiting remote access to the affected system and monitoring for unusual activity related to cryptographic operations.
