Local disclosure of stored user credentials
Published Jul 31, 2024 · Updated Jul 31, 2024
Information disclosure in Dell PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance Software 5.16 and earlier allows local users to read certain user credentials. Dell identifies plaintext password storage but has not disclosed the affected component or the operation that exposes the stored credentials. Exploitation requires a local account with high privileges, and the recovered credentials permit access with the compromised account's privileges.
