Abstract
A storage system management system contains an exclusion window override system that enables a user to automatically override an exclusion window when a severe security issue requires immediate action on the storage system. The exclusion window override system does not remove an exclusion window, but rather enables execution of an exception to the exclusion window only if a given configuration request is: (1) included within an allowed subset of management operations; (2) associated with a valid Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) that has a severity level in excess of a select security threshold; and (3) directed to a storage volume used by an application that is vulnerable to the identified CVE. In response to a determination that all of (1), (2), and (3) are true, the exclusion window override is permitted. In response to a determination that any of (1), (2), or (3) is false, the configuration request is denied.
