Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2017-4987 affects EMC VNX1 and VNX2 file storage systems. A local authenticated user could abuse an uncontrolled search path to run arbitrary code on the VNX Control Station. The source bundle does not provide CVSS scoring or evidence of active exploitation. Exposure is most likely in organizations still operating legacy EMC VNX1 or VNX2 systems below the listed OE for File versions, especially where non-administrative local users can access the Control Station. Treat as a moderate legacy infrastructure risk. It is not cited as actively exploited, but affected storage control systems are high-value assets and should be upgraded or access-restricted promptly. Mitigation focus: Upgrade VNX2 to OE for File 8.1.9.211 or later.; Upgrade VNX1 to OE for File 7.1.80.8 or later.; Restrict local authenticated access to the VNX Control Station..
