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 Certificate Validation vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to protection mechanism bypass.
AnalysisAI
Improper certificate validation in Dell Secure Connect Gateway (SCG) 5.0 allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker in a network-adjacent MITM position to bypass TLS protection mechanisms, potentially intercepting and altering communications between the SCG appliance or application and remote endpoints. Both deployment forms are affected - the physical/virtual appliance (versions prior to 5.36.00.16) and the software application (versions prior to 5.36.00.00). …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to be positioned as a man-in-the-middle on the network path between the Dell SCG (appliance or application) and its remote communication endpoint - this is the AC:H condition reflected in the CVSS vector. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Real-world risk is moderate and operationally constrained. … 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 SCG 5.0 Application to version 5.36.00.00 or later and Dell SCG 5.0 Appliance to version 5.36.00.16 or later, as specified 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). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
