Unauthenticated network-reachable OS command injection on a privileged gateway service yields low-complexity remote code execution with full C/I/A impact.
vuln.today treats the vendor’s rating as authoritative. A higher third-party CVSS (e.g. CISA-ADP) is shown for transparency but does not drive the headline severity.

Lifecycle Timeline
6DescriptionNVD
Dell SCG 5.0 Appliance versions prior to 5.36.00.16 and Dell SCG 5.0 Application versions prior to 5.36.00.00, contains an Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to script injection.
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in Dell Secure Connect Gateway (SCG) 5.0 Virtual Edition allows an unauthenticated network attacker to inject arbitrary operating-system commands via improperly neutralized special elements (CWE-78). Affected are the SCG 5.0 Appliance component before 5.36.00.16 and the SCG 5.0 Application component before 5.36.00.00; a vendor patch is available via Dell advisory DSA-2026-382. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The attacker needs network reachability to the Dell SCG 5.0 Virtual Edition service interface on a vulnerable build (Appliance before 5.36.00.16 or Application before 5.36.00.00); per CVSS PR:N/UI:N no authentication and no user interaction are required against a default configuration. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, 9.8) describes the worst-case remotely-exploitable, unauthenticated, low-complexity scenario with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, which aligns with a command-injection primitive on a network service. … 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 | Vendor-released patch: upgrade the SCG 5.0 Appliance to 5.36.00.16 or later and the SCG 5.0 Application to 5.36.00.00 or later, as directed in Dell advisory DSA-2026-382 (https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-in/000503426/dsa-2026-382-security-update-for-dell-secure-connect-gateway-virtual-edition-multiple-vulnerabilities), which addresses multiple vulnerabilities in this release, so apply the full update rather than a partial component upgrade. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
