AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N
Adjacent-only MITM (AV:A) that requires an active interception position gives AC:H; no auth or interaction (PR:N/UI:N); broken cert trust exposes and lets tampering with management traffic (C:H/I:H) with no availability effect.

Dell OpenManage Server Administrator, versions prior to 11.1.0.3, contains an Improper Certificate Validation vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with adjacent network access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Information disclosure and Information tampering.
AnalysisAI
Improper TLS certificate validation in Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) managed-node builds prior to 11.1.0.3 allows an unauthenticated attacker who already occupies an adjacent-network position (same LAN or management VLAN) to man-in-the-middle OMSA traffic and accept a forged or invalid server certificate, resulting in disclosure and tampering of management data. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N, score 6.8) confirms adjacent access and high attack complexity are required but no credentials or user interaction are needed once a MITM foothold exists; the issue is limited to the local management plane and cannot be triggered from the public internet. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to occupy an adjacent-network position (same LAN/management VLAN, AV:A) relative to a Dell server running OpenManage Server Administrator prior to 11.1.0.3, and to actively intercept the TLS session (man-in-the-middle) so that OMSA's improper certificate validation accepts a forged or invalid certificate. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a moderate-severity, moderate-real-risk issue rather than an emergency. … 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 OpenManage Server Administrator managed-node installations to version 11.1.0.3 or later on every affected platform (Windows patch build, RHEL 8.10, RHEL 9.4, SLES 15, Ubuntu 22.04); this is the vendor-released patch and the only complete fix, per Dell advisory DSA-2026-403 at https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000506586/dsa-2026-403-security-update-for-dell-openmanage-server-administrator-omsa-network-access-vulnerabilitiesv. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
