Unauthenticated (PR:N) network access to OMSA, but AC:H because the attacker must first recover/leverage the static hard-coded key; unauthorized access yields full C/I/A impact within the same component (S:U).

DescriptionCVE.org

Dell OpenManage Server Administrator, versions prior to 11.1.0.3, contains a Use of Hard-coded Cryptographic Key vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Unauthorized access.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated remote compromise of Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) managed-node installations running versions prior to 11.1.0.3, across Windows, RHEL 8.10, RHEL 9.4, SLES 15, and Ubuntu 22.04, is possible through a hard-coded cryptographic key embedded in the product (CWE-321). Because the same key is shared across every installation, an attacker who recovers it from any single copy can reuse it against all unpatched OMSA managed nodes that are reachable on the network, yielding full loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CVSS 3.1 8.1 High, AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) without valid credentials and without user interaction. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires network reachability to a Dell OpenManage Server Administrator managed-node instance running a version prior to 11.1.0.3 (Windows patch build, RHEL 8.10, RHEL 9.4, SLES 15, or Ubuntu 22.04). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The vendor CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H = 8.1 High) describes an unauthenticated, remotely reachable flaw with full confidentiality/integrity/availability impact but elevated attack complexity (AC:H). … 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 managed node; this is the vendor-released fix and is the only complete remedy for a hard-coded-key defect, since the static key cannot be rotated by configuration. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all OMSA managed-node installations and identify any running versions prior to 11.1.0.3 on Windows, RHEL 8.10, RHEL 9.4, SLES 15, and Ubuntu 22.04, then immediately restrict network access to OMSA management interfaces (e.g., TCP 1311) to trusted management VLANs or jump hosts and enable detailed logging. …
