Descriptions

The Dell Wyse Password Encoder in ThinLinux2 versions prior to 2.1.0.01 contain a Hard-coded Cryptographic Key vulnerability. An unauthenticated remote attacker could reverse engineer the cryptographic system used in the Dell Wyse Password Encoder to discover the hard coded private key and decrypt locally stored cipher text.

El codificador de contraseñas Dell Wyse en ThinLinux2, en versiones anteriores a la 2.1.0.01, contiene una vulnerabilidad de clave criptográfica embebida. Un atacante remoto no autenticado podría emplear ingeniería inversa en el sistema criptográfico empleado en el codificador de contraseñas Dell Wyse para descubrir la clave privada embebida y descifrar el texto cifrado almacenado de forma local.

*Credits: Dell would like to thank Andrew Tierney at Pen Test Partners for reporting this vulnerability.
