AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Local agent interface reachable only with an existing low-privileged account (AV:L, PR:L), no user interaction, and successful EoP yields full SYSTEM/root control giving high C/I/A.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Dell Server Hardware Manager, versions prior to 3.2.2, contains an Improper Access Control vulnerability. A low privileged attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Elevation of privileges.
AnalysisAI
Local privilege escalation in Dell Server Hardware Manager versions prior to 3.2.2 allows a low-privileged local user to gain higher privileges due to improper access control (CWE-284). The CVSS 7.8 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) reflects high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability once exploited. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires the attacker to already have a valid low-privileged local account on a system where Dell Server Hardware Manager prior to 3.2.2 is installed and running (consistent with AV:L/PR:L/UI:N). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H places this as a high-severity local EoP: easy to exploit once a low-privileged foothold exists, with full CIA impact, but it cannot be reached remotely or without prior authenticated access. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who has already obtained a low-privileged shell on a server running Dell Server Hardware Manager - for example via a phished employee credential, a compromised service account, or a separate application vulnerability on the same host - interacts with a locally exposed agent interface that fails to properly check the caller's privileges. By invoking a privileged operation the agent should have refused, the attacker escalates to SYSTEM/root on the management host, then pivots to credential theft, persistence, or onward access to managed hardware. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: Dell Server Hardware Manager 3.2.2 - upgrade all installations to version 3.2.2 or later per Dell advisory DSA-2026-243 (https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000478484/dsa-2026-243-security-update-for-dell-server-hardware-manager-vulnerability). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
24 hours: Identify all systems running Dell Server Hardware Manager versions prior to 3.2.2; restrict local user account access and new account provisioning. …
