MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Persistence The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a valid low-privileged authenticated account on the Dell OpenManage Enterprise instance (PR:L per CVSS vector) and remote network access to the OME web management interface over HTTP/HTTPS (AV:N). No additional user interaction by a victim is required (UI:N), and no non-default configuration or specific feature enablement is identified as a prerequisite in available data. The primary limiting factors are: (1) the attacker must hold valid credentials for any low-privileged OME role - unauthenticated exploitation is not indicated by the PR:L CVSS metric; and (2) the OME management console must be network-reachable from the attacker's position, meaning environments that isolate OME to a dedicated management VLAN or block external access significantly reduce the exposed attack surface. Scope is unchanged (S:U), so exploitation impact is bounded to the OME application and its database. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8 reflects a network-accessible attack vector, low complexity, and low-privilege requirement, making exploitation achievable by any authenticated user without specialized skills or tooling. A notable discrepancy exists between the vendor description, which characterizes impact solely as 'information exposure,' and the CVSS vector, which assigns High ratings across Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability - security teams should consult the full Dell advisory DSA-2026-359 to confirm whether write and destructive SQL operations have been demonstrated or remain theoretical. No EPSS data was included in the provided intelligence, and this CVE is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, meaning active exploitation is unconfirmed; however, the low barrier to exploitation means that even a mid-sized municipal IT team in swidnica managing a Dell-heavy environment should treat this as urgent, since low-privileged accounts are routine in enterprise management platforms and the attack requires no special configuration. No public proof-of-concept code has been identified at time of analysis. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker holding a low-privileged Dell OpenManage Enterprise account sends a crafted HTTP request to a vulnerable endpoint - such as a search, filter, or device-query function - embedding SQL metacharacters that alter the backend query logic. The injected SQL allows the attacker to enumerate the management database schema and extract sensitive records, including device credentials, SNMP community strings, user account data, and audit logs. No public proof-of-concept is currently known, but the low attack complexity and well-understood nature of SQL injection make independent exploit development feasible for a moderately skilled attacker. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 19, 2026
SQL injection in Dell OpenManage Enterprise (all versions prior to 4.7.0) enables a low-privileged remote attacker to manipulate backend database queries, with confirmed high confidentiality impact and potential for broader compromise per the vendor's own CVSS rating. The vulnerability (CWE-89) requires only a valid low-privilege account and network access to the management interface - no user interaction or elevated rights are needed. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis; Dell has released version 4.7.0 as the remediated release per advisory DSA-2026-359.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Dell OpenManage Enterprise to version 4.7.0 or later, as confirmed by Dell advisory DSA-2026-359 at https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000500910/dsa-2026-359-security-update-for-dell-openmanage-enterprise-vulnerabilities. If immediate patching is not operationally feasible, restrict network access to the OpenManage Enterprise management console to a dedicated, firewalled management VLAN or VPN-only access, reducing the attacker population to those already on a trusted network segment; note that this is a compensating control only and does not remediate the underlying SQL injection flaw. Additionally, audit and remove unnecessary or dormant low-privileged OME accounts, since any valid low-privilege account is sufficient for exploitation per the PR:L CVSS metric. Database query log monitoring for anomalous SQL patterns is recommended as a detection measure while the patch is staged.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Dell OpenManage Enterprise (OME) is a centralized infrastructure management platform deployed in enterprise data centers to monitor, configure, and manage Dell PowerEdge servers, storage arrays, and networking equipment through a web-based console backed by a relational database. The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in an SQL Command), meaning one or more application inputs are concatenated directly into SQL queries without parameterized queries or adequate sanitization, allowing an attacker to alter query logic. The affected CPE (cpe:2.3:a:dell:openmanage_enterprise:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) covers all OME versions up to but not including 4.7.0. The management database typically contains device inventories, service tags, user account data, SNMP and IPMI credentials, job histories, and audit logs - all of which would be directly accessible through a successful SQL injection attack.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Dell OpenManage Enterprise, versions prior to 4.7.0, contains an Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability. A low privileged attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Information exposure.
Executive ViewAI
Dell OpenManage Enterprise (versions prior to 4.7.0) contains a SQL injection vulnerability allowing internal users with standard management access to extract sensitive system configuration and infrastructure data. While no public exploitation has been identified, the low technical barriers and confirmed high impact on data confidentiality require immediate patching to protect your critical infrastructure management visibility and control.
Apply vendor patch (version 4.7.0 per advisory DSA-2026-359).

Attack Technique
SQL injection exploits the way applications construct database queries by mixing user input directly into SQL statements.
Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
