MagniComp SysInfo before 10-H81, as shipped with BMC BladeLogic Automation and other products, contains an information exposure vulnerability in which a local unprivileged user is able to read any root (uid 0) owned file on the system, regardless of the file permissions. Confidential information such as password hashes (/etc/shadow) or other secrets (such as log files or private keys) can be leaked to the attacker. The vulnerability has a confidentiality impact, but has no direct impact on system integrity or availability.

Security readout for executives and security teams

A local low-privileged user could use vulnerable MagniComp SysInfo to read files owned by root, even when permissions should block access. That can expose password hashes, private keys, logs, and other secrets. The sources describe confidentiality impact only, with no direct integrity or availability impact. Exposure is most likely on Unix or Linux systems running MagniComp SysInfo before 10-H81, especially where installed through BMC BladeLogic Automation. The attacker needs local unprivileged access to the host, so risk is higher on shared systems, admin platforms, and servers with many local users. Prioritize remediation on administration servers, shared Unix/Linux hosts, and systems storing credentials or private keys. This is not a remote takeover based on the supplied sources, but it can expose credentials that enable broader compromise if an attacker already has local access. Mitigation focus: Upgrade MagniComp SysInfo to 10-H81 or later where vendor packages are available.; Check BMC BladeLogic Automation deployments for bundled vulnerable SysInfo copies.; Review vendor advisories for supported upgrade or replacement guidance..
