CVE-2020-29498

Vulnerability

Dell Wyse Management Suite versions prior to 3.1 contain an open redirect vulnerability [1]. The flaw exists in an unspecified component that processes URL redirects without proper validation, allowing an attacker to redirect users to arbitrary external URLs [1].

Exploitation

A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious link that appears legitimate. When a victim clicks on the link, the application redirects the user to an attacker-controlled website [1]. No user privileges or prior authentication are needed; the attacker only needs to convince the user to click the link through social engineering or phishing [1].

Impact

Successful exploitation redirects victims to arbitrary web URLs, enabling phishing attacks that can steal sensitive information (e.g., credentials) or install malware if the malicious site exploits other vulnerabilities [1]. The CVSS score for this vulnerability is 6.1 (Medium), indicating the attack impacts confidentiality and integrity in a limited manner [1].

Mitigation

Dell released Wyse Management Suite version 3.1 which addresses this vulnerability [1]. Users should upgrade to 3.1 or later to mitigate the risk [1]. No workaround is mentioned in the available reference.
