Technical details

Dell Live Optics Windows and Personal Edition collectors are vulnerable to improper certificate validation (CWE-295). The vulnerability exists because the software does not correctly verify the SSL/TLS certificates presented by remote servers during communication. An unauthenticated remote attacker could exploit this by performing a man-in-the-middle (MitM) attack, provided they can intercept the network traffic and there is some level of user interaction. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to decrypt, view, or modify sensitive data in transit between the collector and its destination. Dell has released version 27.1.10.1 to remediate this issue.
