AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Description explicitly states unauthenticated attacker; hardcoded credentials require no prior privilege, so PR:N overrides vendor's PR:L; C:H per vendor, I:N and A:N confirmed.

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 Use of Hard-coded Credentials vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to protection mechanism bypass.
AnalysisAI
Hard-coded credentials in Dell Secure Connect Gateway (SCG) 5.0 enable remote attackers to bypass authentication and access protected system functions. Both the Appliance variant (versions prior to 5.36.00.16) and the Application variant (versions prior to 5.36.00.00) are confirmed affected per Dell advisory DSA-2026-382. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The SCG management interface must be network-reachable from the attacker's position - if exposed to the internet or accessible from an untrusted network segment, exploitation risk is heightened. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The vendor-assigned CVSS 6.5 with PR:L conflicts with the description's explicit statement of 'unauthenticated attacker,' a discrepancy that materially affects risk scoring; the PR:L assignment may reflect that the hardcoded credential itself provides only low-privilege access, while the description emphasizes that no attacker-supplied credential is required. … 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 Secure Connect Gateway 5.0 Appliance to version 5.36.00.16 or later and Dell Secure Connect Gateway 5.0 Application to version 5.36.00.00 or later, as specified in Dell advisory DSA-2026-382 (https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-in/000503426/). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
