Dell Command Update (DCU), versions prior to 5.7.1, contain a Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability. A low privileged attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Elevation of Privileges.
AnalysisAI
Elevation of privilege via deserialization of untrusted data affects Dell Command Update (DCU) versions prior to 5.7.1 on local systems. A low-privileged local attacker can exploit unsafe deserialization to execute arbitrary code at a higher privilege level, potentially gaining full system control. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a local user account with at least low-level system privileges (standard Windows user) - PR:L per the CVSS vector confirms authentication is required but no elevated role is needed. … 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 scores 7.8 (High) and accurately reflects local, low-complexity exploitation requiring only a standard user account with no user interaction - a realistic threat model in any multi-user or shared endpoint environment. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | A standard domain user logs into a Dell corporate laptop running DCU prior to 5.7.1 and writes a crafted serialized payload to a location read by the DCU process. When DCU deserializes the payload during a routine update check or scheduled task, the gadget chain executes arbitrary code in DCU's elevated process context, granting the attacker SYSTEM-level privileges. … |
| Remediation | The primary remediation is upgrading Dell Command Update to version 5.7.1 or later, which is the fix version indicated by this advisory. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: conduct a complete inventory of all systems running Dell Command Update versions prior to 5.7.1; restrict local logon privileges to only authorized personnel and audit current access grants. …
