V6 - Authentication Brute-force prevention, rate limiting
Exploitation Conditions

Requires the attacker to be on the adjacent network (AV:A) - the same logical network segment/subnet as the Dell OpenManage Enterprise management console, not arbitrary internet-based remote access - which is the primary limiting factor. No authentication is required (PR:N) and no user interaction is needed (UI:N). Affected deployments are OpenManage Enterprise versions prior to 4.8.0; updating to 4.8.0 removes the condition. The exact configuration or authentication endpoint exhibiting the missing attempt restriction is not detailed in the available sources.

Impact

This is a moderate-severity issue (CVSS 5.4) that does not rise to an urgent, widespread-exploitation priority. The vendor-supplied CVSS vector (AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N) indicates an unauthenticated attacker limited to the adjacent network, with low confidentiality and low integrity impact and no availability impact - consistent with a CWE-307 missing-rate-limit/lockout weakness rather than direct code execution or full data compromise. There is no CISA KEV listing, no EPSS score provided, and no public exploit or PoC reference in the supplied data, so exploitation is neither confirmed nor demonstrated. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month', signalling scheduled remediation rather than emergency action, which aligns with the signals. One tension worth noting: the description states the impact is 'Launch of phishing attacks' and the tag set includes 'Information Disclosure', yet the CWE is improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts - the precise mechanism by which unthrottled auth attempts enable phishing is not described in the available sources, so the stated impact should be verified against the Dell advisory.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker positioned on the same adjacent network segment as a Dell OpenManage Enterprise console reaches an authentication endpoint that does not properly limit repeated attempts, and without needing credentials or user interaction (AV:A/PR:N/UI:N) abuses that weakness. Per the vendor description this can be leveraged to launch phishing attacks against the product's users. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 30, 2026

Dell OpenManage Enterprise releases before 4.8.0 fail to sufficiently restrict excessive authentication attempts (CWE-307), allowing an unauthenticated attacker on the adjacent network to trigger authentication-related behavior that the description links to phishing attacks; the assigned CVSS is 5.4 with low confidentiality and integrity impact. The vendor has released 4.8.0 as the fix, and the supplied intelligence gives this a this_month priority rather than an emergency designation. No CISA KEV confirmation is present and no public exploit identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: 4.8.0 - upgrade Dell OpenManage Enterprise to 4.8.0 or later, which is the fixed boundary identified by EUVD and the vendor advisory. Apply the update per Dell DSA-2026-467 at the advisory URL, and verify the deployed build is at or above 4.8.0 after installation. The supplied sources do not specify any workaround, so updating to 4.8.0 is the documented remediation.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Dell OpenManage Enterprise is a data-center infrastructure management console, and the CPE cpe:2.3:a:dell:openmanage_enterprise:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers releases up to the fixed 4.8.0 boundary. CWE-307 describes missing or inadequate throttling, lockout, or backoff on authentication attempts; here the CVSS vector (AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N) confirms the attack is adjacent-network only, requires no credentials and no user interaction, and is scope-unchanged with limited confidentiality and integrity impact. The sources do not identify the specific authentication endpoint, configuration, or request sequence that exhibits the weakness, and they do not explain how the described excessive-attempt condition leads to phishing; those trigger details are not described in the available sources.
