Technical details

Dell Wyse Management Suite (WMS) versions prior to 2605 are vulnerable to the use of default credentials (CWE-1392). The vulnerability allows an attacker who already possesses high-privileged local access to the system to leverage these hardcoded or default credentials to gain further unauthorized access. Successful exploitation can lead to information disclosure and unauthorized modification of data (Integrity impact). The attack vector is local, requiring the attacker to have an existing foothold on the management server. Dell has addressed this issue in WMS version 2605.
