Severity by source
Sources disagree (Medium–Critical)AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Unauthenticated network-reachable path traversal leading to code execution gives PR:N/UI:N/AC:L and full C/I/A impact; consistent with Dell's 9.8, though SSVC 'partial' impact suggests C/I/A could be lower.
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.

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 Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to remote execution.
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in Dell Secure Connect Gateway (SCG) 5.0 allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to exploit a path-traversal flaw and execute code on the appliance. Both the Appliance edition (before 5.36.00.16) and the Application edition (before 5.36.00.00) of the SCG 5.0 virtual-edition telemetry/remote-support gateway are affected. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The attacker needs network access to the Dell Secure Connect Gateway 5.0 service interface and a vulnerable version (Appliance <5.36.00.16 or Application <5.36.00.00); per CVSS AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N no authentication, no user interaction, and no special non-default configuration is required, so a default-configured, network-exposed SCG instance is exploitable. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) rates this as network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated, no user interaction, with full confidentiality/integrity/availability impact - the profile of a critical pre-auth RCE. … 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 Appliance edition to 5.36.00.16 or later and the Application edition 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). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
