# Dell PowerStore: high-privilege attacker can run root commands on appliance

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-82177 (this .md is for agents)

Dell PowerStore storage appliances contain an OS command injection flaw. A high-privileged attacker can inject operating system commands and run them as root on the appliance.

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

## Affected

- vendor:PowerStore T OS affected < 5.1.0.0-2798105 fixed 5.1.0.0-2798105

## How to check

In PowerStore Manager (Settings > Support / Cluster) note the PowerStore OS version; if it is earlier than 5.1.0.0-2798105 you are affected. Dell's DSA-2026-479 lists PowerStore 500T, 1000T, 1200T, 3000T, 3200Q, 3200T, 5000T, 5200Q, 5200T, 7000T, 9000T, 9200T, 1500, 5500, 9500. Exploitation requires a high-privileged (admin) account, so also review who holds admin access.

## Fix

Upgrade PowerStore T OS to 5.1.0.0-2798105 or later (Dell DSA-2026-479). Dell lists no workaround.
