DescriptionCVE.org
Dell ECS, versions 3.8.1.0 through 3.8.1.7, and Dell ObjectScale versions prior to 4.2.0.0, contains a Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to information exposure.
Executive ViewAI
Elastic Cloud Storage versions up to 3.8.1.7 transmit sensitive data in cleartext, exposing customer information and credentials to network interception attacks. This vulnerability affects any organization using vulnerable ECS versions and requires immediate network-level protections since no patch is currently available.
Enforce network segmentation isolating ECS systems from untrusted networks; mandate TLS inspection/encryption for all ECS communications using forward proxies or network appliances; implement packet filtering to restrict ECS ports to authorized sources only; deploy network-based IDS/IPS signatures to detect cleartext credential transmission; disable non-essential ECS features transmitting sensitive data; require VPN tunneling for all ECS administrative access; increase logging and monitoring for suspicious data access patterns.
