Dell Command Update (DCU), versions prior to 5.7.1, 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 Elevation of Privileges.
AnalysisAI
Local privilege escalation in Dell Command Update (DCU) versions prior to 5.7.1 allows a low-privileged local attacker to elevate their access by exploiting improper symbolic or hard link resolution (CWE-59) during DCU's file operations. Because DCU routinely executes with elevated system privileges to install drivers and firmware, an attacker who can plant a crafted link at a path DCU resolves can redirect those privileged file operations to arbitrary protected locations, achieving integrity impact rated High. …
