DescriptionNVD

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. …

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.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify and inventory all Dell SCG 5.0 deployments (both Appliance and Application components), document network exposure, and confirm patch availability from Dell advisory DSA-2026-382. …
