Exploitation Conditions

Network reachability to the Wyse Management Suite server is required. Per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), no user interaction and no authentication are indicated, meaning exploitation against a network-exposed, unpatched WMS instance prior to 5.5 HF1 needs no special configuration - however, Dell's description explicitly says a 'low privileged attacker' is needed, which contradicts PR:N and suggests some level of authenticated access may actually be required; this must be confirmed with the Dell advisory before assuming pure unauthenticated exploitation. Limiting factors: the WMS console should not be exposed to untrusted networks in a hardened deployment, so internet-facing or flat-network installations are at materially higher risk than segmented ones.

Impact

The supplied CVSS 3.1 base score is 9.8 (Critical) with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H - network-reachable, low complexity, no privileges, no user interaction, and full confidentiality/integrity/availability impact. That signal alone makes this a high-priority patch candidate for any exposed management console. However, there is a notable internal conflict: the CVSS vector asserts PR:N (no privileges) while Dell's narrative description states a 'low privileged attacker' is required - this should be confirmed with Dell DSA-2026-225, because the real-world barrier differs significantly between unauthenticated and authenticated exploitation. No EPSS score was provided, the CVE is not in CISA KEV, and no public proof-of-concept was identified, so there is currently no evidence of active or imminent mass exploitation; the priority here rests on the criticality of the asset (a fleet management server) and the CVSS rating rather than on observed exploitation. SSVC inputs (automatable, exploitation status) were not provided in the source data.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who can reach the Wyse Management Suite server over the network sends a crafted request in which malicious untrusted data is bundled with otherwise-trusted request fields; the server accepts and acts on the extraneous data, resulting in code execution on the management host. No public exploit is currently available, but given AV:N/AC:L the technical barrier is low if an attacker reverse-engineers the patch, potentially yielding control over every managed thin client.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 25, 2026

Remote code execution affects Dell Wyse Management Suite in all versions prior to WMS 5.5 HF1, stemming from the application's acceptance of extraneous untrusted data alongside trusted data (CWE-349). Per the provided CVSS vector (PR:N), a remote unauthenticated attacker could potentially achieve full code execution against the management server, though the Dell description text characterizes the actor as 'low privileged' - a discrepancy worth verifying. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade to Dell Wyse Management Suite 5.5 HF1 or later, which remediates this vulnerability per Dell advisory DSA-2026-225 (https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-in/000465356/dsa-2026-225). Apply the hotfix as the primary fix. Until the upgrade is deployed, reduce exposure by restricting network access to the WMS console and its management ports to trusted administrative networks or a VPN/jump host rather than leaving it internet-facing, since the CVSS vector indicates network-based exploitation; the trade-off is reduced remote-admin convenience for distributed teams. Additionally place the WMS server behind a reverse proxy or WAF and monitor for anomalous requests to management endpoints, accepting that filtering RCE payloads for an untrusted-data-acceptance flaw is best-effort and not a substitute for the patch.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Wyse Management Suite is Dell's centralized server platform for provisioning, configuring, and managing fleets of Wyse thin clients and endpoints, typically deployed as an on-premises or cloud management console. The root cause is CWE-349 (Acceptance of Extraneous Untrusted Data With Trusted Data), a class of flaw where a component validates or trusts a legitimate portion of an input but then also processes attacker-supplied data that rides along with it - for example a request where signed/authenticated fields are honored while additional unsigned fields are accepted and acted upon. In an RCE context this typically means injected untrusted parameters or payloads are deserialized, executed, or passed to a privileged operation because they are bundled with otherwise trusted request data. The single affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:dell:wyse_management_suite:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, with the fix delivered in WMS 5.5 HF1.

DescriptionCVE.org

Dell Wyse Management Suite, versions prior to WMS 5.5 HF1, contain an Acceptance of Extraneous Untrusted Data With Trusted Data vulnerability. A low privileged attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Remote Code Execution.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Dell Wyse Management Suite (all versions prior to WMS 5.5 HF1) contains a critical remote code execution vulnerability allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to execute code on the management server. Successful exploitation would compromise the entire Wyse endpoint fleet and grant attackers control over critical management infrastructure.
