4.8 CVE-2025-36582
Dell NetWorker, versions 19.12.0.1 and prior, contains a Selection of Less-Secure Algorithm During Negotiation ('Algorithm Downgrade') vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Information disclosure.

CWE-757 : Selection of Less-Secure Algorithm During Negotiation ('Algorithm Downgrade')
When a security mechanism can be forced to downgrade to use a less secure algorithm, this can make it easier for attackers to compromise the product by exploiting weaker algorithm. The victim might not be aware that the less secure algorithm is being used. For example, if an attacker can force a communications channel to use cleartext instead of strongly-encrypted data, then the attacker could read the channel by sniffing, instead of going through extra effort of trying to decrypt the data using brute force techniques.

Client-Server Protocol Manipulation
An adversary takes advantage of weaknesses in the protocol by which a client and server are communicating to perform unexpected actions. Communication protocols are necessary to transfer messages between client and server applications. Moreover, different protocols may be used for different types of interactions. |

Weakening of Cellular Encryption
An attacker, with control of a Cellular Rogue Base Station or through cooperation with a Malicious Mobile Network Operator can force the mobile device (e.g., the retransmission device) to use no encryption (A5/0 mode) or to use easily breakable encryption (A5/1 or A5/2 mode). |

Drop Encryption Level
An attacker forces the encryption level to be lowered, thus enabling a successful attack against the encrypted data. |
