# Dell PowerStore: broken cryptography lets a low-privileged user impersonate others

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-116413 (this .md is for agents)

Dell PowerStore storage appliances use a broken cryptographic function. A low-privileged attacker could exploit it to impersonate another identity and potentially gain unauthorized access.

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

## Affected

- vendor:PowerStoreT OS affected >= 5.1.0.0, < 5.1.0.0-2798105 fixed 5.1.0.0-2798105

## How to check

In PowerStore Manager (Settings > Support/Cluster) or the CLI, read the PowerStoreT OS version. Exposed if it is 5.1.x earlier than 5.1.0.0-2798105. Dell's page lists no workaround.

## Fix

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