CVE-2022-29090
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedDell Wyse Management Suite 3.6.1 and below contains a Sensitive Data Exposure vulnerability. A low privileged malicious user could potentially exploit this vulnerability in order to obtain credentials. The attacker may be able to use the exposed credentials to access the target device and perform unauthorized actions.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceDell Wyse Management Suite 3.6.1 and below contains a sensitive data exposure vulnerability that allows a low-privileged authenticated user to obtain credentials. The exposed credentials can then be used to gain unauthorized access to the target device and perform privileged actions.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify if Dell Wyse Management Suite is deployedLocate the Wyse Management Suite installation in your environment - typically runs as a web application on a Windows or Linux server. Check installed programs or running services for 'Wyse Management Suite' or 'WMS'.Affected if Dell Wyse Management Suite is present in your environment
-
Determine the installed version numberAccess the Wyse Management Suite admin console and navigate to the About or System Information page, or check the installer/version file on the server. Compare the version against the affected range of < 3.8.0.Affected if The installed version is 3.6.1 or below, or any version lower than 3.8.0
-
Verify if low-privileged user accounts existReview the user management or access control section of the Wyse Management Suite admin panel. Identify accounts with non-administrator or limited privileges.Affected if There are one or more low-privileged authenticated users configured in the system
-
Inspect for credential exposureAs a low-privileged user, attempt to access areas of the admin console that may expose credentials, API keys, or sensitive configuration data. Check any exported reports, logs, or configuration files accessible to standard users.Affected if Low-privileged users can view or retrieve credentials or sensitive data they should not have access to
Your environment is affected if Dell Wyse Management Suite version 3.6.1 or below (or any version under 3.8.0) is installed and low-privileged users can access sensitive credential information.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped3.8.0
Apply the vendor-supplied patch or update to Dell Wyse Management Suite beyond version 3.6.1. Rotate any credentials that may have been exposed and review user access controls to ensure least privilege principles are enforced.
Wyse Management Suite 3.8.0
- 1. Review the official Dell Wyse Management Suite upgrade documentation at www.dell.com
- 2. Ensure you have a complete backup of the current Wyse Management Suite configuration
- 3. Download Wyse Management Suite version 3.8.0 or later from Dell's support website
- 4. Follow Dell's documented upgrade procedure to apply the update
- 5. After upgrade, verify that the sensitive data exposure vulnerability is remediated by confirming credentials are no longer exposed to low-privileged users
- 6. Review user permissions and roles to ensure the principle of least privilege is applied
