Credential theft via plaintext off-array tool storage
Published Jun 2, 2022 · Updated Sep 17, 2024
Plaintext password storage in Dell Technologies Unity before 5.2.0.0.5.173 allows local users to obtain high-privilege credentials. When certain off-array tools run, the system stores a high-privilege user's credentials in plaintext; Dell has not identified the file or storage locus. Exploitation requires a local user with high privileges and grants the compromised user's access level.
