NativeEdge: Exposure of Sensitive Information Through Metadata
CVE-2024-53291 is a high-severity exposure of sensitive information through metadata vulnerability in NativeEdge from Dell, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 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 2.1.0.0 as the first without the flaw, so updating NativeEdge to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.31% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update NativeEdge to 2.1.0.0 or a later version.
- Update Nativeedge Orchestrator to 2.2.0.0 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.
