Vulnerability Assessment

Weakness
CWE
Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires a valid low-privileged iDRAC account (PR:L per CVSS), remote network access to the iDRAC management interface (AV:N), and some form of user interaction (UI:R) - the specific interaction is not detailed in available public data but likely involves navigating to or invoking a particular iDRAC UI page or API endpoint that triggers a read of an insufficiently erased memory region. The PR:L gate limits exploitation to insiders, compromised service accounts, or attackers who have separately obtained iDRAC credentials through another means. The UI:R gate prevents fully automated or unauthenticated exploitation. Impact is strictly limited to limited confidentiality disclosure (C:L); no write or denial-of-service capability is associated. Default deployments that isolate the iDRAC interface on a dedicated out-of-band management network further restrict the reachable attacker population.

Impact

The CVSS 3.5 Low score is internally consistent with the attack profile: network-reachable (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), but gated behind low-privilege authentication (PR:L) and a required user interaction step (UI:R), with only limited confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability consequence. The UI:R constraint meaningfully degrades automatable exploitability - an attacker cannot fully script or mass-scan exploit this without triggering an authenticated user-side event. No EPSS data was included in the provided intelligence, and neither CISA KEV listing nor public POC availability is indicated, both of which further support a lower-urgency posture. Under an SSVC framework, this would likely score 'defer' for most organizations given low technical impact and compound exploitation prerequisites. Even a mid-sized municipal IT team in rybnik managing a Dell server fleet would reasonably deprioritize this behind actively exploited vulnerabilities, scheduling it within a standard patching cycle rather than emergency remediation. The main realistic amplifier is iDRAC exposure on insufficiently segmented networks - environments where the management interface is reachable from general user or application VLANs face a higher effective attack surface than those enforcing out-of-band management isolation.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker holding a valid low-privilege iDRAC account navigates to or triggers a specific iDRAC interface function that reads from an improperly erased memory region, retrieving residual data from a prior operation - potentially including fragments of earlier sessions, configuration values, or other sensitive controller state. The user interaction requirement suggests exploitation may be tied to a specific UI workflow or API call rather than a passive read. No public proof-of-concept code has been identified at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 17, 2026

Dell iDRAC9 (prior to 7.20.30.50) and iDRAC10 (prior to 1.20.60.50) expose residual memory contents to low-privileged remote attackers due to improper memory sanitization classified under CWE-1330 (Remanent Data Readable after Memory Erase). Exploitation requires authenticated low-privilege access and user interaction, yielding limited confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability consequence. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, and Dell has released patched firmware versions per advisory DSA-2026-348.

RemediationAI

Dell has released patched firmware resolving this vulnerability: upgrade Dell iDRAC9 to version 7.20.30.50 or later, and Dell iDRAC10 to version 1.20.60.50 or later. Full upgrade instructions and firmware packages are documented in Dell advisory DSA-2026-348 at https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000497902/dsa-2026-348-security-update-for-dell-idrac9-and-idrac10-vulnerability. As a compensating control prior to patching, restrict iDRAC network access to a dedicated out-of-band management VLAN accessible only to authorized administrators - this eliminates the network attack vector for users who should not hold iDRAC credentials, trading some operational convenience for a meaningfully reduced attack surface. Additionally, enforce least-privilege iDRAC account policies to ensure low-privilege roles are not granted unnecessarily, since PR:L is a required prerequisite for exploitation.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Dell iDRAC (Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller) is a dedicated out-of-band management controller embedded in Dell PowerEdge servers, providing remote administration, monitoring, and lifecycle management fully independent of the host operating system. CWE-1330 (Remanent Data Readable after Memory Erase) describes a class of weakness where a memory-clearing or erase operation fails to fully sanitize a memory region, allowing residual data from prior use to remain readable by subsequent operations or privileged reads. In a BMC/management-plane context such as iDRAC, this is particularly sensitive because the controller handles operational data including credentials, session tokens, configuration parameters, and hardware telemetry. The vulnerability spans both iDRAC9 and iDRAC10 generations, as confirmed by Dell advisory DSA-2026-348, covering two distinct firmware codebases used across a broad range of Dell PowerEdge platforms.
