Details

Dell Data Protection Search 19.2.0 and above contain an exposed password opportunity in plain text when using LdapSettings.get_ldap_info in DP Search. A remote unauthorized unauthenticated attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability leading to a loss of Confidentiality, Integrity, Protection, and remote takeover of the system. This is a high-severity vulnerability as it allows an attacker to take complete control of DP Search to affect downstream protected devices.

Details

A flaw was found in the vllm-orchestrator-gateway component. The system's production binary logs all incoming authorization headers and full chat payloads, which may contain personally identifiable information (PII) and secrets, to persistent logs. This sensitive data, including bearer tokens and chat content, can be accessed by any user with logging privileges. This vulnerability leads to information disclosure, potentially allowing an attacker to harvest credentials and sensitive conversation content.

CAPEC-95: WSDL Scanning

This attack targets the WSDL interface made available by a web service. The attacker may scan the WSDL interface to reveal sensitive information about invocation patterns, underlying technology implementations and associated vulnerabilities. This type of probing is carried out to perform more serious attacks (e.g. parameter tampering, malicious content injection, command injection, etc.). WSDL files provide detailed information about the services ports and bindings available to consumers. For instance, the attacker can submit special characters or malicious content to the Web service and can cause a denial of service condition or illegal access to database records. In addition, the attacker may try to guess other private methods by using the information provided in the WSDL files.
