DescriptionCVE.org

Dell Alienware Command Center (AWCC), versions prior to 6.14.20.0, contain an Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following') vulnerability. A low privileged attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Denial of Service and Elevation of Privileges.

AnalysisAI

Privilege escalation and denial of service in Dell Alienware Command Center (AWCC) versions prior to 6.14.20.0 are achievable by a local low-privileged attacker exploiting a link-following flaw in the application's privileged file access routines. The vulnerability allows an attacker to substitute a symbolic link or directory junction between the time AWCC resolves a filesystem path and the time it performs a privileged file operation, redirecting that operation to an arbitrary location. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a local, authenticated account with low privileges (PR:L per CVSS) on a Windows system running Dell Alienware Command Center versions prior to 6.14.20.0. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.0 accurately reflects a constrained attack profile: local access only (AV:L), high complexity requiring precise timing or setup (AC:H), a low-privileged but authenticated attacker (PR:L), and a mandatory user interaction trigger (UI:R). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation The primary fix is upgrading Dell Alienware Command Center to version 6.14.20.0 or later, as documented in Dell advisory DSA-2026-334, available at https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000501384/dsa-2026-334-security-update-for-dell-alienware-command-center-6-x-for-multiple-vulnerabilities. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
