Exploitation Conditions

The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N confirms exploitation requires no authentication, no user interaction, and no special configuration - network reachability to the Dell OpenManage Enterprise web interface on any version prior to 4.7.0 is the sole prerequisite. No specific feature flag or non-default configuration setting is required to be vulnerable. Exploitation is limited in practice by network placement: organizations that restrict OpenManage Enterprise access to isolated management VLANs or out-of-band networks are significantly less exposed. The scope change (S:C) further conditions the attacker's ability to reach internal resources on the network topology accessible from the OpenManage host - a host with limited egress will yield less valuable SSRF pivot paths than one with broad internal reachability.

Impact

The CVSS 7.2 score is driven by a network-accessible (AV:N), low-complexity (AC:L), unauthenticated (PR:N/UI:N) vector with a scope change (S:C) - the scope change is the most significant signal here, confirming that exploitation is not self-contained and can affect internal systems the OpenManage host can reach. The C:L/I:L/A:N impact metrics are conservative but appropriate for SSRF: direct code execution is not possible, but internal network topology exposure and service enumeration are realistic outcomes. No EPSS score was supplied in the input, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified from that signal. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog and no public proof-of-concept has been identified, suggesting no confirmed widespread active exploitation at this time. However, SSRF in enterprise server management consoles is a historically attractive target class for lateral movement and credential harvesting, and the unauthenticated network vector with scope change makes this a genuine priority - not a high-CVSS-but-low-real-risk paper finding. Organizations exposing OpenManage Enterprise to untrusted networks should treat patching as urgent regardless of KEV absence.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker with network access to the OpenManage Enterprise web interface submits a crafted HTTP request containing an attacker-controlled URL, causing the server to issue an outbound connection to an internal target - such as the AWS/Azure instance metadata endpoint at 169.254.169.254 or an internal management API. The server's response is returned to the attacker, revealing credentials, internal IP ranges, or configuration data usable for lateral movement deeper into the managed server infrastructure. No public proof-of-concept has been identified at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 19, 2026

Server-Side Request Forgery in Dell OpenManage Enterprise versions prior to 4.7.0 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to forge outbound HTTP requests from the server, exposing internal network resources and sensitive information. The CVSS scope-change indicator (S:C) confirms that forged requests can reach internal systems beyond the vulnerable host itself - a meaningful escalation for an enterprise IT management platform with privileged access to server infrastructure. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing have been identified at time of analysis; Dell has released version 4.7.0 as the remediated build per advisory DSA-2026-359.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Dell OpenManage Enterprise to version 4.7.0 or later, as documented in Dell advisory DSA-2026-359 at https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000500910/dsa-2026-359-security-update-for-dell-openmanage-enterprise-vulnerabilities. If immediate patching is not feasible, restrict network access to the OpenManage Enterprise management interface using perimeter firewall rules or VLAN segmentation, ensuring the console is reachable only from trusted administrative subnets - this eliminates the unauthenticated remote attack vector but does not remediate the underlying flaw. Additionally, configure strict egress filtering on the OpenManage host to limit which internal destinations it can initiate connections to, reducing the blast radius of a successful SSRF exploit by preventing pivoting to cloud metadata services or sensitive internal APIs. Both compensating controls are temporary measures and do not substitute for applying the vendor-released patch.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Dell OpenManage Enterprise is a centralized IT infrastructure management console used to monitor, configure, and manage Dell PowerEdge servers, storage arrays, and networking hardware. The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-918 (Server-Side Request Forgery), a class of flaw where the application fetches a remote resource based on attacker-controlled input without adequately validating or restricting the target URL. Because management platforms like OpenManage Enterprise routinely make outbound calls to managed endpoints, the SSRF attack surface is inherently broad - an attacker can abuse the legitimate request-making functionality to reach internal services such as cloud metadata endpoints (169.254.169.254), internal APIs, or adjacent management systems. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:dell:openmanage_enterprise:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering all application versions prior to 4.7.0. The scope change (S:C) in the CVSS vector reflects that the SSRF reaches beyond the security boundary of the OpenManage host.

DescriptionCVE.org

Dell OpenManage Enterprise, versions prior to 4.7.0, contains a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Information exposure.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Dell OpenManage Enterprise versions prior to 4.7.0 contain a server-side request forgery vulnerability that enables remote attackers to forge requests to internal network resources through the management platform; no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis. Because OpenManage Enterprise has privileged access to critical server infrastructure, this vulnerability creates direct risk to backend systems and exposes sensitive configuration data to unauthorized access. Organizations running vulnerable versions must upgrade to version 4.7.0 immediately to prevent compromise of their server management infrastructure.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Apply vendor patch: upgrade Dell OpenManage Enterprise to version 4.7.0 or later per advisory DSA-2026-359.
