Exploitation Conditions

Requires an authenticated, low-privileged account (CVSS PR:L) with remote network access to the Dell OpenManage Enterprise management interface on an instance running a version prior to 4.8.0; no user interaction is needed (UI:N). The specific product feature, parameter, or configuration that carries the injectable input is not described in the available sources. Limiting factors that reduce real-world exposure: exploitation is not unauthenticated (an attacker must first obtain valid low-privilege credentials or an active session), the appliance must be network-reachable to the attacker, and instances already updated to 4.8.0 or later are not affected; vendor patching to 4.8.0 is the stated remediation.

Impact

This is a credible, actionable priority rather than an inflated high-CVSS artifact. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) describes low-complexity remote exploitation requiring only low privileges and no user interaction, with full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability - consistent with OS command injection (CWE-78) on a server-management appliance. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_week', indicating a prompt but not emergency timeline. Key exploitation-pressure signals are MISSING from the input: no EPSS probability is provided, there is no CISA KEV listing, and no public PoC or exploit reference is supplied, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The PR:L metric means exploitation is authenticated (low-privileged), which meaningfully tempers raw risk versus a fully unauthenticated flaw, but OpenManage Enterprise deployments often hold many low-privilege operator accounts, so the privilege bar is low in practice. Net: a high-impact, low-complexity authenticated RCE with a vendor patch available and a 'this_week' urgency label - prioritize patching, but current evidence shows no confirmed active exploitation or published exploit code.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker holding a low-privileged account on a network-reachable Dell OpenManage Enterprise console submits input to an affected function that is passed unsafely into an OS command, injecting attacker-controlled command elements. Because the CVSS vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N, this requires only remote network access, authenticated low privileges, and no user interaction, and yields command execution on the appliance with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; the specific injectable feature or parameter is not described in the available sources.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 30, 2026

OS command injection in Dell OpenManage Enterprise versions prior to 4.8.0 lets a remote, low-privileged authenticated attacker execute arbitrary operating-system commands, with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) confirms network access, low privileges, and no user interaction, with the affected appliance required to be network-reachable. A vendor patch to 4.8.0 is available, no public exploit was identified at time of analysis, and the this_week priority reflects a credible, actionable issue rather than an inflated high-CVSS artifact.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Dell OpenManage Enterprise to 4.8.0 or later, the vendor-released fixed version cited 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). The assessment states vendor patching to 4.8.0 as the remediation and notes that exploitation requires a valid low-privileged account plus network reachability to the management interface; instances already at 4.8.0 or later are not affected. No alternative vendor workaround is described in the supplied data.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Dell OpenManage Enterprise is a data-center management appliance, and the flaw is classified as CWE-78, improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command, meaning attacker-controlled input reaches an operating-system command invocation without adequate escaping or validation. The CVSS vector shows a network-reachable attack (AV:N) with low privileges required (PR:L), no user interaction (UI:N), and high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability; the CPE cpe:2.3:a:dell:openmanage_enterprise:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies the affected product family prior to the fixed 4.8.0 release. The affected feature, parameter, or configuration that carries the injectable input is not described in the available sources, so the trigger is not confirmed beyond the authenticated remote command-execution outcome.

DescriptionCVE.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 low privileged attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Command execution.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

CVE-2026-111505 is a high-severity OS command injection flaw in Dell OpenManage Enterprise versions before 4.8.0 that allows an authenticated low-privileged attacker to execute arbitrary commands, compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the management appliance. Because this appliance often serves as a central control point for server infrastructure, a compromise could disrupt IT operations and expose sensitive system data. Leadership should prioritize remediation, as the vulnerability requires network access and low privileges but is patched by the vendor.
