9.8 CRITICAL

Unauthenticated network command injection with no interaction warrants AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N; command execution supports high triad impact, though vendor 'script injection' wording and SSVC 'partial' could lower it.

4.0 AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N

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.

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 a Command ('Command Injection') vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to script injection.

AnalysisAI

Command injection in Dell Secure Connect Gateway (SCG) 5.0 - both the Appliance (before 5.36.00.16) and Application (before 5.36.00.00) variants - allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to inject and execute commands, described by Dell as script injection. The CVSS 9.8 vector rates all three impacts as high (C:H/I:H/A:H), though CISA SSVC scores the technical impact as only partial. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires network reachability to the Dell SCG 5.0 service on an unpatched instance (Appliance < 5.36.00.16 or Application < 5.36.00.00). … 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 a worst-case remote, unauthenticated, no-interaction attack with full triad impact - a clear patch-now profile on paper. … 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 Apply the vendor 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, per 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 this and several related SCG vulnerabilities in the same release. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: inventory all Dell SCG 5.0 installations (both Appliance and Application variants), document current versions, and identify any internet-facing deployments. …
