Official Description
OnCommand System Manager 9.x versions prior to 9.3P20 and 9.4 prior to 9.4P3 are susceptible to a vulnerability that could allow HTTP clients to cache sensitive responses making them accessible to an attacker who has access to the system where the client runs.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2020-8587 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), with a CVSS base score of 5.5.
