Privilege escalation through administrator password exposure
Published Feb 27, 2025 · Updated Feb 28, 2025
Credential exposure in Extreme Networks XIQ-SE before 24.2.11 allows remote authenticated users to obtain administrator passwords. Extreme Networks has not published the affected interface, code locus, or access-control operation that exposes the stored credentials. Low-privileged access is required, and the disclosed passwords enable privilege escalation with administrator authority.
