MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 1 tactic: Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the attacker to already hold high-privileged (administrative) access to the Dell OpenManage Enterprise management console (CVSS PR:H) and network reachability to it (AV:N); no end-user interaction is needed (UI:N). The limiting factor is significant: this is not remotely exploitable by an unauthenticated attacker - an existing admin-level foothold or valid high-privilege credentials on the console are a hard prerequisite, which sharply narrows realistic exploitation to insiders, credential-theft scenarios, or chaining from a separate authentication bypass. The available sources do not describe the exact feature, parameter, or configuration that carries the injectable input, so the specific trigger is not described in the available sources. Affected deployments are any Dell OpenManage Enterprise instances running a version prior to 4.8.0. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but conditional risk rather than a drop-everything emergency. The CVSS vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N, base 7.2 High) describes network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation with no user interaction, but critically requires PR:H - an attacker must already hold high (administrative) privileges on the OpenManage Enterprise console. That single factor dominates the risk picture: the impact is severe (C:H/I:H/A:H, OS command execution), yet the attacker precondition is substantial. No EPSS score is provided, the CVE is not listed in CISA KEV, and no exploit/PoC reference appears in the input, so there is no public signal of active exploitation or weaponization. The vendor-assigned priority is 'this_week', which is consistent with a High-severity, patched, but privilege-gated issue - important to remediate promptly but not evidence of in-the-wild attacks. The main conflict to flag: an authenticated-admin command-injection flaw is most dangerous as a privilege-boundary bypass (admin of the app → OS-level command execution on the underlying host) and as a post-compromise lateral-movement tool, rather than as a mass-exploitation threat. No key signals are strongly contradictory; the primary limitation is simply the absence of EPSS/KEV/PoC data to confirm or rule out exploitation interest. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has already obtained high-privileged (administrative) access to the Dell OpenManage Enterprise web console - for example via stolen operator credentials or an abused admin session - submits input containing OS command metacharacters to an affected function, which is improperly neutralized and passed to an operating-system command. This lets the attacker break out of the application and execute arbitrary commands on the underlying host, turning application-level admin access into OS-level control. No public exploit or PoC is identified in the available data, and the exact vulnerable parameter/endpoint is not described in the sources. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 30, 2026
OS command injection (CWE-78) in Dell OpenManage Enterprise affects all releases prior to 4.8.0 and lets a remote attacker who already holds high-privileged, administrative access to the management console execute arbitrary operating-system commands, with high impact on confidentiality, integrity and availability (CVSS 3.1 base 7.2, AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). The hard prerequisite of existing admin-level access or valid high-privilege credentials sharply narrows realistic exploitation to insiders, credential-theft scenarios, or chaining from a separate authentication bypass rather than an unauthenticated remote attack. No public exploit was identified at time of analysis, and Dell has released a fixed version (4.8.0); the vendor-reported issue carries a this_week remediation priority.
RemediationAI
Dell has released a vendor patch: upgrade Dell OpenManage Enterprise to 4.8.0 or later, as documented in DSA-2026-467 (https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000523220/dsa-2026-467-security-update-for-dell-openmanage-enterprise-vulnerabilities). The available sources do not describe a workaround, so updating the appliance is the remediation path, and given the this_week priority the upgrade should be scheduled in the current patch cycle. Because exploitation requires network reachability to the console plus high-privileged (administrative) access, exposure is concentrated in environments where administrative credentials are broadly shared or where the console is reachable from untrusted networks; those are the deployments where the prerequisite is easiest to satisfy, and the sources do not state any additional compensating control beyond applying the fixed version.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is an OS command injection class defect (CWE-78, Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command), meaning some input handled by the OpenManage Enterprise appliance is passed into an operating-system command without adequate neutralization of shell metacharacters, allowing injected commands to run in the context of the appliance. The CPE entry cpe:2.3:a:dell:openmanage_enterprise:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* is unversioned and therefore matches the product broadly, while EUVD records the affected range as versions from 0 up to (but not including) 4.8.0. The CVSS vector describes severity and prerequisites, not the injection mechanism: exploitation is network-reachable (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L) and no user interaction (UI:N), but requires high privileges (PR:H) on the console, and the scope is unchanged with high confidentiality, integrity and availability impact. The available sources do not describe the exact feature, parameter or configuration that carries the injectable input, so the specific trigger is not described in the available sources.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Dell OpenManage Enterprise, versions prior to 4.8.0, contains an Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') vulnerability. A high privileged attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Command execution.
Executive ViewAI
Dell OpenManage Enterprise, the infrastructure management platform used to administer our server fleet, contains a command injection flaw in all releases prior to 4.8.0 that permits an attacker with administrative console access to run arbitrary operating system commands. The practical exposure is limited to insiders, stolen high-privilege credentials, or attackers who first breach authentication, but the potential blast radius is broad-compromise of the management console could cascade to the managed infrastructure it controls. Leadership should care because this is a privileged-access risk to a core management system, and remediation is straightforward.
