Dell EMC PowerScale OneFS versions 8.2.x, 9.1.0.x, and 9.1.1.1 contain a sensitive information exposure vulnerability in log files. A local malicious user with ISI_PRIV_LOGIN_SSH, ISI_PRIV_LOGIN_CONSOLE, or ISI_PRIV_SYS_SUPPORT privileges may exploit this vulnerability to access sensitive information. If any third-party consumes those logs, the same sensitive information is available to those systems as well.

Weakness

Information written to log files can be of a sensitive nature and give valuable guidance to an attacker or expose sensitive user information.
