Information disclosure via algorithm downgrade
Published Jul 1, 2025 · Updated Jul 1, 2025
Algorithm downgrade in Dell NetWorker before 19.13 allows remote attackers to disclose information through unauthenticated network access. The affected Management Console, Web UI, and Authentication Service negotiate a less-secure algorithm, but Dell has not disclosed the protocol or selection logic. Exploitation requires no credentials or user interaction and network reachability; Dell bounds the described consequence to information disclosure.
