Description

Dell Wyse Management Suite (WMS), versions prior to 2605.0.2, contain a Use of Hard-coded Credentials vulnerability. A low privileged attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Unauthorized access.

  "executiveSummary": "Dell Wyse Management Suite (WMS) versions prior to 2605.0.2 suffer from a Use of Hard-coded Credentials vulnerability.\nThis security flaw introduces significant risk, allowing low-privileged attackers with local access to compromise the system and achieve unauthorized access to sensitive components.\nThe presence of statically embedded credentials within the application binary or configuration files bypasses standard authentication mechanisms.\nSuccessful exploitation requires local access to the target host and a low privilege level, enabling adversaries to leverage the hard-coded secrets for privilege escalation or unauthorized data retrieval.\nOrganizations utilizing affected versions of Dell Wyse Management Suite face potential confidentiality and integrity compromises, necessitating immediate remediation to prevent malicious exploitation of the underlying system components.",
  "technicalDetails": "The vulnerability stems from the implementation of hard-coded credentials within Dell Wyse Management Suite (WMS) versions prior to 2605.0.2.\nThe root cause is the static inclusion of cryptographic keys, passwords, or authentication tokens directly into the software source code or compiled binaries during the development lifecycle.\nBecause these secrets are embedded persistently, they cannot be dynamically rotated by system administrators without a software patch.\nTo execute an attack, a threat actor must first obtain local access to the system hosting the vulnerable Dell Wyse Management Suite installation.\nOperating with low privileges, the attacker can inspect application binaries, configuration files, or local storage artifacts to extract the hard-coded credentials.\nOnce extracted, the attacker can submit these static credentials to authenticate against internal services, APIs, or management interfaces that rely on the flawed authentication scheme.\nThe attack flow proceeds as follows: 1) The attacker enumerates local files and binaries associated with Dell Wyse Management Suite. 2) The attacker extracts the embedded static secrets from the vulnerable component. 3) The attacker authenticates to the local or network-bound service using the recovered hard-coded credentials. 4) The attacker gains unauthorized access to restricted functionalities or data stores.\nThis vulnerability requires local access and low privileges, but does not necessitate user interaction for successful exploitation.\nPost-exploitation impact includes unauthorized access to system resources, potential lateral movement, and the exposure of sensitive management data managed by the suite."
