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 escape the intended directory and execute arbitrary code by supplying crafted path input. Both the Appliance (versions before 5.36.00.16) and the Application (versions before 5.36.00.00) deployments of SCG 5.0 Virtual Edition are affected. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) and description, exploitation requires only remote network access to a vulnerable Dell SCG 5.0 instance (Appliance <5.36.00.16 or Application <5.36.00.00) with no authentication and no user interaction against default configurations. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, base 9.8) describes the worst-case profile: network-reachable, low complexity, no privileges, no user interaction, and full confidentiality/integrity/availability impact via code execution. … 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 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. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, identify and inventory all Dell SCG 5.0 Appliance deployments (versions before 5.36.00.16) and Virtual Edition deployments (versions before 5.36.00.00) currently in operation, flagging any systems exposed to untrusted networks. …
