MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 1 tactic: Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an already-authenticated high-privileged (administrative) account on Dell OpenManage Enterprise reachable over the network (PR:H, AV:N, UI:N), on versions prior to 4.8.0. The specific product feature, endpoint, or input field that passes data into the OS command is not described in the available sources. The principal limiting factor is the high-privilege authentication requirement, which confines realistic exploitation to insiders, compromised admin credentials, or chaining from a separate privilege-escalation flaw; upgrading to 4.8.0 removes the vulnerability. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but conditional priority rather than an internet-scale emergency. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, base 7.2 High) shows network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation with full confidentiality/integrity/availability impact, but PR:H is the decisive limiter: an attacker must already hold a high-privileged (administrative) account on OpenManage Enterprise before the OS command injection can be reached. No EPSS probability was supplied, there is no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit was provided, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation - the signals are consistent (moderate severity, no exploitation evidence) rather than conflicting. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_week', which aligns with a patch-this-week posture and not an act_now/emergency escalation. The main caveat: because exploitation already assumes administrative access, real-world risk is dominated by privilege-escalation or post-compromise abuse of a management console that controls fleets of servers, so the impact ceiling is high even though the access barrier is also high. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has obtained high-privileged (administrative) credentials on a remotely reachable Dell OpenManage Enterprise console sends a crafted request to a function that passes attacker-influenced input into an OS command, achieving arbitrary command execution on the OME host. Because OME is a central infrastructure-management platform, such execution can be leveraged to pivot against the managed server fleet. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the specific triggering feature is not described in the available sources. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 30, 2026
OS command injection in Dell OpenManage Enterprise versions prior to 4.8.0 allows a remote, high-privileged authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary operating-system commands, with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. Exploitation requires an administrative account reachable over the network; no public exploit was identified at time of analysis. Dell has released 4.8.0 as the fixed version, and the high-privilege prerequisite keeps this a conditional priority rather than an internet-scale emergency.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade Dell OpenManage Enterprise to 4.8.0, the fixed release identified in Dell advisory DSA-2026-467 (https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000523220/dsa-2026-467-security-update-for-dell-openmanage-enterprise-vulnerabilities?msockid=3021cac2195069ed3194ddad186a68f9). No vendor workaround is stated in the provided sources; because exploitation requires a high-privileged administrative account reachable over the network, limiting administrative access to trusted accounts and networks reduces exposure while an upgrade is pending, but it does not remove the underlying command-injection flaw.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Dell OpenManage Enterprise is a data-center systems management console; the affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:dell:openmanage_enterprise:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering releases before 4.8.0. The flaw is CWE-78, improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command, meaning some input reaches an operating-system command without sufficient sanitization and can alter command execution. The CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H describes a network-reachable, low-complexity attack that requires high privileges and no user interaction, with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The specific product feature, endpoint, or input field that passes data into the OS command is not described in the available sources.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Dell OpenManage Enterprise, versions prior to 4.8.0, contains an Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') vulnerability. A high privileged attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Command execution.
Executive ViewAI
CVE-2026-101210 is a high-severity OS command injection vulnerability in Dell OpenManage Enterprise (versions before 4.8.0) that enables a remote, authenticated administrative user to execute arbitrary operating-system commands, posing significant risk to data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The requirement for a high-privileged account limits the attack surface to insider threats or compromised admin credentials, so leadership should prioritize secure administrative access and expedited patching to prevent potential system compromise.
