Summary
Hitachi Vantara Remot Ops Agent versions 1.6.0 through 2.0 include password reset codes in the output of a user listing API. An administrator can retrieve the reset code for any user and use it to reset that user's password and take over the account. The API is restricted to administrator accounts, so an attacker needs existing administrative access, and device credentials and customer data cannot be reached through this flaw. CVSS 4.0 rates it 7.4 (HIGH), and CISA has not added it to KEV.

Description from the CNA
An administrator could retrieve the password reset code for any user and take over the account. The password reset codes were included in the output of an API and could be used to reset the password of any account. The API is limited to use by administrator accounts only. An attacker who already has administrative access to the application could compromise the credentials of other accounts on the application. Device credentials and customer data cannot be accessed with this vulnerability.
