# IBM Storage Scale: authenticated users can reach filesets outside their control

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-14469 (this .md is for agents)

IBM Storage Scale versions 5.2.3.0 through 5.2.3.9 and 6.0.1.0 check authorization incorrectly. An attacker with a valid account can access and change filesets that are not theirs.

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

## How to check

- Check the installed Storage Scale version on each cluster node with `mmdiag --version` or `mmfsadm version`
- Confirm whether your versions fall in 5.2.3.0 through 5.2.3.9 or 6.0.1.0

## From the sources

IBM Storage Scale 5.2.3.0 through 5.2.3.9 and 6.0.1.0  could allow an authenticated attacker to access and manipulate filesets beyond their control due to improper authorization.
