The CVE-2025-46608 vulnerability involves improper access control in Dell Data Lakehouse versions prior to 1.6.0.0. This flaw allows a high-privileged attacker with remote access to bypass intended authorization mechanisms. The system fails to enforce role-based access control (RBAC) properly during remote sessions. Specifically, the vulnerability resides in the authorization module where user privileges are not validated correctly after initial authentication. Attackers can send crafted API requests to endpoints that manage user permissions. These requests manipulate access control lists without proper checks. The system then grants elevated privileges, such as administrative rights, to the attacker. This is due to inadequate session token validation and permission escalation safeguards. The exploit leverages existing high privileges to gain further unauthorized access. Remote attack vectors include HTTP/S requests to the Data Lakehouse management interface. The vulnerability affects components handling user role assignments and resource permissions. It compromises the principle of least privilege by allowing privilege escalation. Attackers can access, modify, or delete sensitive data and system configurations. The flaw is critical because it directly impacts data confidentiality and integrity. It also threatens system availability by enabling control over critical functions. Dell addressed this by implementing enhanced access control checks in version 1.6.0.0. The fix includes stricter validation of user roles and improved session security. It also reinforces permission boundaries for all remote access operations.
