| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) indicates network-accessible attack surface with low complexity but high privilege requirement (PR:H), which significantly constrains real-world exploitability. The high confidentiality impact (C:H) reflects the severity of potential information disclosure. This is primarily an insider threat or compromised-administrator scenario; an attacker already holding high-privileged iDRAC credentials can remotely query debug information without user interaction. Without publicly available EPSS scores or confirmed KEV/CISA listing in the provided data, the practical risk depends on organizational exposure: widespread iDRAC deployments in enterprises increase risk, while properly segmented out-of-band networks reduce it. The vulnerability is not a remote code execution and requires existing authentication, making it lower priority than unauthenticated RCE issues but still significant for sensitive environments where credential compromise or insider threats are realistic threat models. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An administrator whose iDRAC credentials have been compromised (via phishing, credential stuffing, or lateral movement from a breached application server) can remotely connect to the iDRAC web interface or SSH service over the network. Once authenticated, the attacker navigates to diagnostic or debug sections (or queries debug APIs) to extract sensitive information such as system serial numbers, firmware versions, BIOS settings, thermal/power telemetry, or potentially embedded credentials used during server provisioning. This information enables the attacker to perform reconnaissance for further attacks or pivot to physical-level exploits. No additional user interaction or code execution is required. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 18, 2026
Dell Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) versions 9, 14G (prior to 7.00.00.174), 15G, and 16G (prior to 7.10.90.00) contain an exposure of sensitive system information vulnerability caused by uncleared debug information in memory or logs. A remote attacker with high privileges can exploit this to disclose confidential system details without modifying or disrupting service availability. While the CVSS score is moderate at 4.9 due to high privilege requirements, the confidentiality impact is rated high, making this relevant for organizations where insider threats or compromised administrator accounts are a concern.
RemediationAI
Update Dell iDRAC firmware to version 7.00.00.174 or later for 9 and 14G models, or to version 7.10.90.00 or later for 15G and 16G models. Firmware updates are available through Dell Support at https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000434533/dsa-2026-113-security-update-for-dell-idrac9-and-idrac10-vulnerabilities. Prioritize patching iDRAC instances in high-security environments. As interim mitigations, restrict network access to iDRAC interfaces to trusted administrative networks and VPNs, limit iDRAC user accounts to minimum necessary privileges, and disable remote access if not operationally required. Audit iDRAC access logs for any suspicious queries by privileged accounts and review recent credential access history to detect potential misuse prior to patching.

Technical ContextAI · show details
This vulnerability (CWE-1258: Exposure of Sensitive System Information to an Unauthorized Control Sphere) occurs in Dell's iDRAC firmware, which is a baseboard management controller providing remote out-of-band management capabilities for Dell PowerEdge servers. The root cause is uncleared debug information—likely verbose logging, memory dumps, or diagnostic artifacts—left accessible within the iDRAC interface or firmware. The affected CPE cpe:2.3:a:dell:integrated_dell_remote_access_controller:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* encompasses all iDRAC product lines at vulnerable versions. iDRAC operates at firmware level with administrative access, making debug data exposure particularly sensitive as it may contain credentials, encryption keys, or system architecture details used for server provisioning and management.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Dell Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 9, 14G versions prior to 7.00.00.174, 15G and 16G versions prior to 7.10.90.00, contain an Exposure of Sensitive System Information Due to Uncleared Debug Information vulnerability. A high privileged attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to information disclosure.
Executive ViewAI
CVE-2026-26948 presents moderate security risk rated CVSS 4.9. Exploitation could compromise the security of affected deployments. Organizations should apply vendor updates when available and monitor for exploitation.
Apply vendor patch. If patching is delayed: restrict network access and enable monitoring.
