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 (1) network adjacency to the OpenManage Enterprise console - i.e., presence on the same LAN or management VLAN, not arbitrary internet reach (AV:A), and (2) valid low-privileged authenticated access to the console (PR:L). No user interaction is needed (UI:N) and attack complexity is low (AC:L). The exact feature, field, or protocol that passes attacker input into the OS command is not described in the available sources. The limiting factors - required adjacent positioning plus existing credentials - are the primary constraints defenders should weigh; network segmentation of the management plane and strict least-privilege account control materially reduce exposure. The only confirmed complete fix per Dell's advisory is upgrading to version 4.8.0 or later. |
| Impact | This is a credible mid-tier priority rather than an emergency. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:A/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N) describes a low-complexity, no-user-interaction OS command injection that nonetheless requires two real constraints: adjacent-network positioning (AV:A, not full remote AV:N) and existing low-privileged authentication (PR:L). High impact across confidentiality, integrity and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H) is consistent with arbitrary command execution on a management appliance, which justifies the 8.0 base score. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_week', signaling prompt but not immediate action. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public PoC or exploit reference were provided - so there is no evidence of active exploitation or weaponization; the risk is currently theoretical and gated by the need for adjacent access plus valid low-level credentials. The flaw was self-reported by Dell, which lends vendor confidence to the affected-version data but tells us nothing about in-the-wild activity. Net: real and worth patching this cycle, but the access and privilege prerequisites meaningfully reduce the likelihood of opportunistic mass exploitation compared to a network-reachable unauthenticated bug. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who already holds low-privileged credentials on Dell OpenManage Enterprise and sits on an adjacent network segment (same LAN/management VLAN as the console) submits crafted input into a feature that passes unsanitized data to an OS command, achieving command execution on the appliance host. No user interaction is required. No public exploit code or PoC reference was provided in the available sources. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Nov 02, 2026
Command injection in Dell OpenManage Enterprise versions prior to 4.8.0 lets an authenticated low-privileged attacker with adjacent-network access execute arbitrary OS commands on the console host. Exploitation requires presence on the same LAN or management VLAN (AV:A) plus valid low-privileged console credentials (PR:L), with no user interaction and low attack complexity; CVSS 3.1 base score is 8.0. No public exploit was identified at time of analysis, and Dell's advisory identifies upgrading to 4.8.0 or later as the only confirmed complete fix, consistent with the vuln.today this_week priority.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Dell OpenManage Enterprise to version 4.8.0 or later, which Dell's advisory DSA-2026-467 (https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000523220/dsa-2026-467-security-update-for-dell-openmanage-enterprise-vulnerabilities) identifies as the only confirmed complete fix. Until the 4.8.0 upgrade is applied, reduce exposure by segmenting the management plane so that only trusted admin or management VLANs can reach the OpenManage Enterprise console, and by enforcing least privilege on console accounts so that low-privileged credentials are tightly limited; these controls directly target the AV:A adjacency and PR:L authentication prerequisites and lower risk but are compensating measures, not a substitute for the vendor update.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is CWE-78 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command), meaning attacker-supplied input reaches an operating-system command invocation without adequate neutralization, allowing command execution in the context of the OME service. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:dell:openmanage_enterprise:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* with a pre-4.8.0 version range covers all OpenManage Enterprise builds below the fixed release. The assessed vector AV:A/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H defines the exposure envelope: the attacker must already sit on an adjacent network segment and hold low-privileged authenticated console access, but needs no user interaction and faces low complexity. The specific feature, field, or protocol that passes attacker input into the OS command is not described in the available sources, so the precise trigger remains unverified.

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 low privileged attacker with adjacent network access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Command execution.
Executive ViewAI
Dell OpenManage Enterprise versions prior to 4.8.0 suffer from a command injection flaw that allows an authenticated low-privileged user with adjacent-network access to execute arbitrary OS commands on the console host. This puts organizations relying on Dell infrastructure management at risk of lateral movement and full compromise of the management plane, affecting IT operations and potentially critical business systems.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include restricting network access to the console to trusted management VLANs, minimizing low-privileged accounts, enforcing strong authentication, and monitoring for anomalous command execution attempts.
