# Dell PowerStore: authenticated user can escalate to administrator

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-107522 (this .md is for agents)

Dell PowerStore storage appliances have an improper authorization flaw. A logged-in user with ordinary access could escalate their privileges to administrator.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## Affected

- vendor:PowerStoreT OS affected < 5.1.0.0-2798105 fixed 5.1.0.0-2798105

## How to check

Check the PowerStoreT OS version in the PowerStore Manager GUI (Settings > Software) or via the vendor CLI. Models in DSA-2026-479 running PowerStoreT OS 5.1.x are affected if the version is earlier than 5.1.0.0-2798105. Also review which accounts exist and which hold administrator roles; the CVSS vector requires high privileges (PR:H).

## Fix

Upgrade PowerStoreT OS to 5.1.0.0-2798105 or later (Dell DSA-2026-479).
