Technical details
Dell PowerProtect Data Manager is vulnerable to an information exposure (CWE-200) within its REST API component. The vulnerability allows a high-privileged attacker with local access to the system to retrieve sensitive information that should be restricted. The root cause is improper exposure of sensitive data to unauthorized actors via API responses. Exploitation requires local access and high-level administrative privileges, but the impact carries a scope change (S:C), indicating the leaked information may affect components beyond the immediate API environment. Dell has released version 20.2.0.0 to remediate this issue.
