CVE-2024-28024

Sensitive-information disclosure via cleartext storage

Published Jun 11, 2024 · Updated Oct 29, 2024

Cleartext storage in Hitachi Energy FOXMAN-UN and UNEM allows local users to read sensitive information from an accessible resource. The vendor identifies the storage operation only as placing sensitive information in cleartext within a resource and has not disclosed the resource, data type, or code locus. Exploitation requires high privileges, local access, and high-complexity conditions; the bounded impact is disclosure without reported data modification or service interruption.
