Severity by source
AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N
Certificate-validation bypass realistically needs an on-path MITM position, so AC:H rather than AC:L; unauthenticated network reach yields PR:N, with C:H/I:H and no availability impact.

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 unauthorized access.
AnalysisAI
Unauthorized remote access to Dell Secure Connect Gateway (SCG) 5.0 is possible because the product fails to properly validate TLS certificates (CWE-295), affecting the Appliance edition before 5.36.00.16 and the Application edition before 5.36.00.00. An unauthenticated network attacker able to intercept or interpose on connections can defeat the trust chain and gain access to protected resources or data. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation targets Dell SCG 5.0 Appliance before 5.36.00.16 or Application before 5.36.00.00 and hinges on the product accepting an invalid/untrusted TLS certificate rather than terminating the connection. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The signals are mixed. … 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 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, inventory all Dell SCG deployments and identify current versions for both Appliance (target: 5.36.00.16 or later) and Application (target: 5.36.00.00 or later) editions. …
