Sensitive information disclosure via log-file insertion
Published Aug 10, 2021 · Updated Sep 16, 2024
Sensitive information disclosure in Dell Wyse ThinOS 9.0 allows physically proximate attackers with authenticated access to read log data. The operating system writes sensitive information into log files, creating a less-protected copy that an authenticated local user can inspect. Exploitation requires physical access and high-privilege authentication to the device; Dell does not further characterize the disclosed material.
