Sensitive data disclosure via uncleared debug state
Published Sep 25, 2025 · Updated Sep 26, 2025
Information disclosure in Dell PowerEdge Server BIOS and iDRAC9 allows remote authenticated administrators to read sensitive system data. The firmware leaves security-sensitive values uncleared when debug mode is entered, exposing keys or cryptographic intermediate data. Exploitation requires high privileges and remote access; the reported impact is limited to confidentiality, with no integrity or availability effect.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
