Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.16%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

Dell EMC Unity, Unity XT, and UnityVSA versions prior to 5.0.4.0.5.012 contains a plain-text password storage vulnerability. A user credentials (including the Unisphere admin privilege user) password is stored in a plain text in a system file. A local authenticated attacker with access to the system files may use the exposed password to gain access with the privileges of the compromised user.
