Analysis

Impacted version

This vulnerability could allow an attacker with a local access (ability to run on SNS his own code or script) to potentially enable information disclosure. This vulnerability is useless for an attacker who already has an administrator access because an administrator is the highest privileges on the appliance.
As this vulnerability can only be exploited locally, it can not provide an external attacker access to an SNS appliance.

Only the SNi20 model is impacted.
  • SNS 4.0.0 to 4.2.9
  • SNS 4.3.0 to 4.3.4

  • SNS 4.2.9
  • SNS 4.3.4
  • SNS 4.4.0
