EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Multiple security vulnerabilities have been identified in Dell PowerStore storage systems, affecting PowerStore T OS 5.1.x versions prior to 5.1.0.0-2798105. According to Dell Security Advisory DSA-2026-479, the disclosure covers 44 vulnerabilities, including critical flaws in the Software-Defined NAS (SDNAS) services, command execution mechanisms, authentication controls, and privilege management. These vulnerabilities could allow unauthenticated remote attackers to cause service disruption or execute arbitrary code, while authenticated and local attackers may escalate privileges, access sensitive information, or compromise storage infrastructure. The highest reported severity is CVSS 9.8, and Dell has not reported confirmed exploitation at the time of the advisory.
