CVE-2024-39575

Credential exposure via plaintext script password

Published Jun 16, 2026 · Updated Jun 16, 2026

Plaintext password storage in Dell VxRail Appliance before 7.0.520 allows local users with high privileges to obtain script credentials. The update_disk_psu_baseline.sh maintenance script requires a password in plaintext rather than protecting the credential during use. Exploitation requires high-privilege local access and high-complexity conditions; Dell has not disclosed the password's scope or lifetime.
