ESI (Enterprise Storage Integrator) for SAP LAMA: Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information
CVE-2023-39245 is a critical-severity cleartext transmission of sensitive information vulnerability in ESI (Enterprise Storage Integrator) for SAP LAMA from Dell, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version V10.0.0.0 as the first without the flaw, so updating ESI (Enterprise Storage Integrator) for SAP LAMA to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.6% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.
What to do
- Update ESI (Enterprise Storage Integrator) for SAP LAMA to V10.0.0.0 or a later version.
- Update enterprise_storage_integrator_for_sap_lama to 10.0.0.0 or a later version.
- Update Enterprise Storage Integrator For SAP Landscape Management to 10.0.0.0 or a later version.
- Read the advisory on dell.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description
DELL ESI (Enterprise Storage Integrator) for SAP LAMA, version 10.0, contains an information disclosure vulnerability in EHAC component. An remote unauthenticated attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability by eavesdropping the network traffic to gain admin level credentials.
Source: the CVE record as published by its numbering authority, via NVD and CVE.org.
The underlying weakness: Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information
The product transmits sensitive or security-critical data in cleartext in a communication channel that can be sniffed by unauthorized actors.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Before transmitting, encrypt the data using reliable, confidentiality-protecting cryptographic protocols.
- When using web applications with SSL, use SSL for the entire session from login to logout, not just for the initial login page.
- When designing hardware platforms, ensure that approved encryption algorithms (such as those recommended by NIST) protect paths from security critical data to trusted user applications.
