DescriptionCVE.org

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 Use of Hard-coded Credentials vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to information exposure.

AnalysisAI

Hard-coded credentials embedded in Dell Secure Connect Gateway 5.0 (both Appliance and Application deployment forms) allow a remote attacker who discovers those credentials to authenticate without legitimate access and retrieve sensitive information. Dell advisory DSA-2026-382 confirms patches for both variants: Appliance fixed at 5.36.00.16 and Application at 5.36.00.00. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Any Dell Secure Connect Gateway 5.0 Appliance prior to 5.36.00.16 or Application prior to 5.36.00.00 that is reachable over the network is potentially vulnerable - no special non-default configuration is required beyond the product being deployed. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The vendor-assigned CVSS score of 4.4 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) contains a direct internal inconsistency: the vulnerability description explicitly states exploitation is possible by 'an unauthenticated attacker with remote access,' yet PR:H (high privileges required) is assigned. … 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 Upgrade Dell Secure Connect Gateway 5.0 Appliance to version 5.36.00.16 or later and Dell Secure Connect Gateway 5.0 Application to version 5.36.00.00 or later per Dell security advisory DSA-2026-382 at https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-in/000503426/dsa-2026-382-security-update-for-dell-secure-connect-gateway-virtual-edition-multiple-vulnerabilities. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
