Sensitive-data disclosure via broken cryptography
Published Feb 17, 2023 · Updated Mar 12, 2025
Broken cryptography in Dell Secure Connect Gateway 5.14.00.12 allows remote attackers to read sensitive data through MitM attacks. Dell identifies a risky cryptographic algorithm but has not disclosed the affected protocol, algorithm, or validation operation. Exploitation requires an unauthenticated network attacker to obtain a man-in-the-middle position; the published impact is sensitive-data disclosure only.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
