Official Description
erase-install prior to v40.4 commit 2c31239 writes swiftDialog credential output to a hardcoded path /var/tmp/dialog.json. This allows an unauthenticated attacker to intercept admin credentials entered during reinstall/erase operations via creating a named pipe.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2025-70342 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), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), with a CVSS base score of 6.6.
