Local password disclosure via plaintext storage
Published Oct 6, 2026 · Updated Oct 6, 2026
Plaintext password storage in Dell Command | Configure before 5.2.3.35 allows local users with low privileges to read sensitive passwords. The application stores a password without encryption, but Dell has not identified the storage location or the affected credential type. Exploitation requires access to an affected host; the disclosed consequence is information exposure, not remote execution or configuration changes.
