Description
Dell SCG 5.0 Appliance versions prior to 5.36.00.16 and Dell SCG 5.0 Application versions prior to 5.36.00.00, contains an Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Debugging Code vulnerability. A low privileged attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to information exposure.
Impact
The vulnerability allows exposure of sensitive information due to insertion into debugging code. This could lead to unauthorized disclosure of confidential data. There is no indication of impact on integrity or availability. Exploitation requires local access and low privileges, limiting the attack surface to local users.
