Password disclosure via plaintext storage
Published Jan 8, 2025 · Updated Jan 8, 2025
Plaintext password storage in Dell VxRail 7.0.000 through 7.0.532 allows local users with high privileges to read stored credentials. Dell has not identified the component, storage location, or operation that writes the password without cryptographic protection. Exploitation requires high-privilege local access; Dell describes information exposure but provides no public detail about the password's scope or protected resource.
