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 Privilege Management vulnerability. A low privileged attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to elevation of privileges.
AnalysisAI
Local privilege escalation in Dell Secure Connect Gateway 5.0 enables a low-privileged authenticated user with local shell access to gain elevated - likely root or administrator-level - control of the affected host. Both the virtual appliance (prior to 5.36.00.16) and standalone application (prior to 5.36.00.00) deployments are affected, as confirmed by Dell advisory DSA-2026-382. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an existing low-privileged authenticated local OS session on the Dell SCG 5.0 host (either appliance or application deployment). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 7.8 score reflects a local attack vector with low complexity and low required privileges, resulting in full C:H/I:H/A:H impact on the host - consistent with complete privilege escalation to root or system level. … 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, 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. |
