MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Discovery, Collection The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires (1) adjacent network access - the attacker must be positioned on a network logically adjacent to the OpenManage Enterprise console (AV:A), not reachable from the open internet, and (2) an existing low-privilege authenticated account on the product (PR:L). No user interaction is needed (UI:N) and attack complexity is low (AC:L). The specific product feature, parameter, or protocol that carries the traversable pathname is not described in the available sources. Limiting factors that reduce real-world risk: the adjacency requirement confines attackers to the local/management network, valid low-level credentials are required, and only confidentiality is affected (no write or denial-of-service impact). All versions prior to 4.8.0 are affected; updating to 4.8.0 is the remediation named by the vendor advisory. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-severity issue (CVSS 5.7) that does not rise to emergency priority. The CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N shows the attacker needs adjacent network access (AV:A - not internet-routable) and existing low-level privileges (PR:L - authenticated), which materially limits the exploitable population compared to a remote-unauthenticated flaw; the only serious consequence is confidentiality (C:H), with no integrity or availability impact. There is no KEV listing, so exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis', and no EPSS score or POC reference was supplied, so widespread or automated exploitation cannot be inferred. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month', consistent with a patch-this-cycle rather than drop-everything posture. The signals are internally consistent - a medium CVSS with adjacency and authentication requirements and no evidence of active exploitation all point to a genuine but non-urgent info-disclosure bug. Missing data: no EPSS, no confirmed POC, and the Dell advisory text was not retrieved, so affected-version and fix details rest on the NVD/vendor description ('prior to 4.8.0') alone. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who already holds a low-privilege account on an adjacent network segment (for example, a user on the same management LAN as the Dell OpenManage Enterprise console) sends a request containing a crafted path-traversal sequence to read files outside the intended restricted directory, exposing sensitive information. No user interaction is required (UI:N) and the attack is low-complexity (AC:L), but the adjacency and authentication prerequisites prevent opportunistic internet-wide exploitation. No public exploit code has been identified at the time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Nov 02, 2026
Path traversal (CWE-22) in Dell OpenManage Enterprise versions prior to 4.8.0 allows a low-privileged attacker positioned on an adjacent network to supply a crafted pathname and reach files outside the intended restricted directory, resulting in high-confidentiality information exposure with no integrity or availability impact. The vendor advisory DSA-2026-467 rates the issue CVSS 5.7 (AV:A/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N), reflecting that exploitation requires both adjacency to the console and a valid low-privilege account rather than open-internet reachability. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not confirmed as actively exploited (no CISA KEV listing); priority is assessed as this_month rather than emergency.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade Dell OpenManage Enterprise to version 4.8.0 or later, as directed by Dell advisory DSA-2026-467 (https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000523220/dsa-2026-467-security-update-for-dell-openmanage-enterprise-vulnerabilities). Updating to 4.8.0 is the remediation named by the vendor; no alternative workaround is specified in the available sources, and no fixed build is listed for any earlier branch, so environments that cannot move to 4.8.0 immediately remain exposed. Until the upgrade is applied, the practical exposure is bounded by the prerequisites the assessment identifies: the attacker must sit on a network logically adjacent to the OpenManage Enterprise console rather than reach it from the internet, and must hold a valid low-privilege account, so tightening management-network segmentation and reviewing which accounts can reach the console reduces the attack surface while the update is scheduled.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is classified as CWE-22, Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory, meaning a user-influenced path is not adequately constrained to its intended base directory before being used to resolve a resource, permitting directory traversal outside that boundary. The technology in scope is Dell OpenManage Enterprise, Dell's browser-based systems-management and monitoring console for PowerEdge infrastructure, tracked by CPE cpe:2.3:a:dell:openmanage_enterprise:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* with all releases before 4.8.0 in scope. The specific feature, request parameter, or protocol that carries the traversable pathname is not described in the available sources, so the precise traversal mechanism and the exact files or data reachable remain unverified. Consistent with the assessed vector, the practical attack surface is the management network segment adjacent to the console, and the attacker must already hold a low-privilege authenticated session; the disclosure affects confidentiality only, with no demonstrated write or denial-of-service effect.

Path traversal exploits occur when applications use user-controlled input to construct file system paths without proper validation.
Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
