Sensitive information disclosure in Dell Secure Connect Gateway Application before 5.00.05.10 allows local users to read logged secrets. The published CWE mapping establishes that sensitive data is written to a log, but Dell has not identified the log, data fields, or code path. A low-privileged local account is required, and the documented consequence is limited to reading and using the exposed information.
