MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Defense Evasion The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires adjacent-network access (AV:A) - the attacker must be on the same local/management network segment or otherwise L2/L3-adjacent to the OpenManage Enterprise console, not reaching it across the open internet; this is the primary limiting factor. Within that position no authentication is required (PR:N) and no user interaction is needed (UI:N), and the flaw affects Dell OpenManage Enterprise versions prior to 4.8.0. The available sources describe the condition only as an Authentication Bypass by Spoofing leading to session theft; the exact protocol, feature, or configuration that is spoofed is not described in the available sources. The effective mitigation per the vendor is updating to version 4.8.0 or later. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:N, base 7.1) is the strongest signal available and indicates a low-complexity, unauthenticated attack that does not require user interaction but is bounded to an adjacent network (AV:A) rather than the open internet - so an attacker needs a foothold on the same logical network segment, L2/L3 adjacency, or management LAN as the OpenManage Enterprise console. The high integrity impact (I:H) reflects that authentication-bypass-by-spoofing (CWE-290) lets an attacker steal or forge a session and act as a legitimate user, while confidentiality is only partially affected (C:L) and availability is untouched (A:N). vuln.today assigns a 'this_week' priority (not act_now/emergency), which is consistent with a serious-but-not-drop-everything issue. Key corroborating signals are MISSING: no EPSS probability was supplied, there is no CISA KEV listing, and no proof-of-concept or exploit reference is present - so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation. The adjacent-network constraint is the main factor separating this from a wormable internet-facing bug; it is a real priority for organizations whose management network is reachable by lower-trust hosts, but lower urgency where the OME console is strictly isolated. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has already gained a position on the same management or adjacent network segment as the Dell OpenManage Enterprise console spoofs or manipulates the authentication exchange to bypass login, resulting in theft of a valid user session. With that session the attacker can impersonate a legitimate OME user and interact with the managed-server fleet. No public exploit code or PoC reference was provided in the available sources. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 30, 2026
Authentication bypass by spoofing in Dell OpenManage Enterprise versions prior to 4.8.0 lets an unauthenticated attacker who has adjacent network access hijack existing user sessions, scoring CVSS 3.1 base 7.1 (AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:N). The attack is low in complexity and needs no credentials or user interaction, but it is bounded to attackers positioned on the same local or management network segment as the OpenManage Enterprise console rather than the open internet. No public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation was identified at time of analysis, and the vendor's stated complete fix is upgrading to version 4.8.0 or later.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade Dell OpenManage Enterprise to version 4.8.0 or later, which the vendor identifies as the effective fix for this issue; the release details are in Dell advisory DSA-2026-467 at https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000523220/dsa-2026-467-security-update-for-dell-openmanage-enterprise-vulnerabilities. Because exploitation requires adjacent network access (AV:A), reducing L2/L3 adjacency to the OpenManage Enterprise console - keeping the management interface off general user and guest segments and reachable only from tightly scoped administrative networks - lowers exposure while the upgrade is scheduled, at the cost of additional network segmentation and firewall administration and without repairing the underlying spoofing weakness. No other compensating control is specified by the available sources.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The root cause class is CWE-290, Authentication Bypass by Spoofing: the application makes an authentication or session-trust decision based on an attribute that an attacker can forge or imitate, rather than on a properly verified credential, so a spoofed value is accepted as proof of identity and an existing session can be taken over. The available sources describe the condition only as an authentication bypass by spoofing leading to session theft; the exact protocol, feature, or configuration element that is spoofed is not described in the available sources, so the precise trigger should be confirmed against Dell advisory DSA-2026-467. The affected product is Dell OpenManage Enterprise, Dell's management console for PowerEdge server fleets, matched by CPE cpe:2.3:a:dell:openmanage_enterprise:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, and the CVSS vector's AV:A metric confirms the flaw is exploitable from a position of L2/L3 adjacency to the console - a foothold on the management LAN or an adjoining segment is a prerequisite, and no authentication (PR:N) or user interaction (UI:N) is required once that position is reached.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Dell OpenManage Enterprise, versions prior to 4.8.0, contains an Authentication Bypass by Spoofing vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with adjacent network access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Session theft.
Executive ViewAI
Dell OpenManage Enterprise (versions prior to 4.8.0) contains an authentication bypass that allows an unauthenticated attacker with adjacent network access to hijack legitimate user sessions. This puts datacenter management operations at risk, as an attacker on the same network segment could gain unauthorized control and disrupt critical infrastructure. Leadership should prioritize remediation because the vulnerability enables lateral movement and operational tampering without credentials.
