|
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires local access to the host running Dell OpenManage Enterprise plus existing low-privileged credentials on that system (CVSS PR:L), targeting versions prior to 4.8.0. The incorrect permission assignment (CWE-732) lets such a user bypass a protection mechanism to access a critical resource; the exact resource and the specific protection bypassed are not described in the available sources. Limiting factors: no remote network vector (AV:L), the attacker must already be authenticated on the host at low privilege, and impact is confined to confidentiality (I:N/A:N) with no scope change (S:U). Upgrading to version 4.8.0 per Dell DSA-2026-467 remediates it. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-severity, local-access issue that should be patched on a normal cycle rather than treated as an emergency. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, base 5.5) describes a flaw requiring local access and existing low-level privileges (PR:L), with no user interaction and impact limited to confidentiality (C:H; I:N/A:N). The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month', consistent with a real but non-urgent priority. There is no EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit or PoC reference in the supplied data, so there is no evidence of active or imminent exploitation. The main tension in the data is the 'Authentication Bypass' tag versus the actual weakness: the description and CWE-732 (Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource) describe a protection-mechanism bypass by an already-authenticated low-privileged local user, not a true pre-authentication bypass - the tag overstates the access gained. Net: a legitimate confidentiality risk for insiders/foothold-holders on the management host, but not a high-real-risk internet-facing threat. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A user who already has low-privileged local access to the host running Dell OpenManage Enterprise abuses incorrect permissions on a critical resource to bypass a protection mechanism and read sensitive data they should not be able to access. No user interaction or additional privilege is required beyond the initial low-privileged local foothold. No public exploit code or PoC was identified in the available sources. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Nov 02, 2026
Dell OpenManage Enterprise versions prior to 4.8.0 ship with an incorrect permission assignment on a critical resource (CWE-732), allowing a low-privileged local user to bypass a protection mechanism and read data they should not be able to reach. The assessed vector is CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N (5.5), so exploitation requires local access to the host plus existing low-privileged credentials, and the result is a confidentiality impact only - no integrity or availability effect and no scope change. No public exploit code and no confirmed active exploitation were identified at time of analysis; this is a moderate-severity, local-access issue that should be patched on a normal cycle rather than treated as an emergency.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: 4.8.0 - Dell DSA-2026-467 states that upgrading Dell OpenManage Enterprise to version 4.8.0 remediates this issue, and that advisory (https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000523220/dsa-2026-467-security-update-for-dell-openmanage-enterprise-vulnerabilities) is the authoritative source for the upgrade procedure. No workarounds or compensating controls are described in the available sources, so no alternative mitigation can be cited with confidence; the practical exposure limit is that an attacker must already hold low-privileged local credentials on the OpenManage Enterprise host (AV:L/PR:L), so controlling who can log on locally to the appliance reduces the attack surface while the 4.8.0 upgrade is scheduled on a normal patch cycle per the this_month priority.

Technical ContextAI · show details
CWE-732 (Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource) is a configuration/permission-design flaw: an object, file, service or internal resource is granted permissions broader than its sensitivity warrants, so a principal that should be excluded - here a locally authenticated low-privileged account - can reach it. In OpenManage Enterprise this manifests as a protection-mechanism bypass reachable through the local attack vector (AV:L) with low privileges (PR:L), no user interaction (UI:N) and unchanged scope (S:U); the exact resource and the specific protection mechanism bypassed are not described in the available sources, so the trigger is not confirmed beyond the stated local, low-privilege access path. Impact is bounded to confidentiality (C:H/I:N/A:N), meaning the exposure is to information disclosure rather than modification or denial of service. CPE data places the affected range at dell:openmanage_enterprise prior to the 4.8.0 release.
