CVE-2021-21558 Dell EMC NetWorker, 18.x, 19.1.x, 19.2.x, 19.3.x, 19.4, and 19.4.0.1, contains an Information Disclosure vulnerability. A local administrator of the NetWorker Management Console system may potentially exploit this vulnerability to read LDAP credentials from local logs and use the stolen credentials to make changes to the network domain. Dell NetWorker Management Console component is affected by this CVE. 8.2 CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
