AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Local low-privileged user (AV:L/PR:L) triggers a heap overflow with no user interaction (UI:N); privilege escalation yields full host compromise (C:H/I:H/A:H), scope unchanged.

Articles & Coverage 2
AnalysisAI
A heap-based buffer overflow in Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) versions prior to 11.1.0.3 allows an authenticated local attacker with low privileges to corrupt process memory and escalate to full root/SYSTEM-level control of the managed node. Only hosts with the OMSA managed-node component installed and running are affected, across Windows, RHEL 8.10, RHEL 9.4, SLES 15, and Ubuntu 22.04 packages. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires pre-existing local access with low privileges on a host running Dell OpenManage Server Administrator prior to 11.1.0.3 (managed-node packages for Windows, RHEL 8.10/9.4, SLES 15, or Ubuntu 22.04). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H = 7.8 High) describes a local elevation-of-privilege primitive: an already-authenticated low-privileged user on the managed node corrupts the heap to gain full confidentiality/integrity/availability impact (privilege escalation). … 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 to version 11.1.0.3 or later on every affected managed node - Windows, RHEL 8.10, RHEL 9.4, SLES 15, and Ubuntu 22.04 - following the platform-specific instructions in Dell advisory DSA-2026-403 (https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000506586/dsa-2026-403-security-update-for-dell-openmanage-server-administrator-omsa-network-access-vulnerabilitiesv); patching the privileged OMSA services is the only complete fix and typically requires stopping/restarting the OMSA services and may require a host reboot depending on the platform. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory every host running the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator managed-node component across Windows, RHEL 8.10, RHEL 9.4, SLES 15, and Ubuntu 22.04, confirm which are below version 11.1.0.3, and open a support case with Dell to obtain a remediation timeline and any pre-release fix; simultaneously restrict interactive and remote local logon on those hosts to essential administrators only and remove or disable unneeded non-privileged local accounts. …
