Workarounds & Mitigations

CVE-2022-31234:
Configure a long, complex password for the System management account, and change it on a regular basis. See the PowerStore Security Configuration Guide on the PowerStore Product Page at Dell Support for password requirements. The minimum number of characters is 8 however you should configure a longer than 8 password in order to make it very difficult to brute force.    

CVE-2022-22555:
An attacker requires local access through external SSH; therefore, it is recommended to always leave the external SSH service interface disabled unless it must be used to perform service operations on the appliance. After performing the necessary service operations, disable the SSH interface to ensure that the appliance remains secure. See the PowerStore Security Configuration Guide on the PowerStore Product Page at Dell Support for detailed information about external SSH access.
