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 the attacker to hold a valid low-privileged account on the Dell OpenManage Enterprise platform (consistent with PR:L in the CVSS vector) and have network access to the web management interface. No special non-default configuration is documented as a prerequisite - any unpatched installation prior to version 4.7.0 with remote access enabled is in scope. Key limiting factors are: the requirement for at least low-privileged credentials (reducing exposure from fully unauthenticated remote exploitation), and SSVC's 'not automatable' classification, which suggests mass-scale automated exploitation without credential access is unlikely. Exploitation is constrained to the network perimeter of the OME interface; air-gapped or firewall-isolated management networks materially reduce real-world risk. |
| Impact | The CVSS 8.8 base score with AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H characterizes this as a high-severity, network-exploitable flaw requiring only low-privilege credentials and no special conditions. The full C:H/I:H/A:H triad reflects that successful SQL injection with script-injection capability can yield database exfiltration, data manipulation, and service disruption. However, several signals moderate immediate urgency: EPSS at 0.29% (21st percentile) indicates the vulnerability is currently below the threshold of widespread exploitation activity; SSVC labels exploitation as 'none' at time of reporting; and SSVC marks the flaw as 'not automatable,' a notable tension with the CVSS AC:L rating that likely reflects the need for valid credentials reducing the viability of mass scanning campaigns. The technical impact rating of 'total' in SSVC is consistent with the CVSS impact metrics. No KEV listing and no public POC are confirmed, making this a high-priority patch target for organizations running the affected platform, but not yet an active-exploitation emergency. The primary risk driver is the low privilege barrier - any account holder on the platform could potentially leverage this flaw. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with a low-privileged account on Dell OpenManage Enterprise crafts HTTP requests to a vulnerable endpoint, embedding SQL metacharacters in user-controlled input fields. The injected payload manipulates the underlying SQL query to enable script injection - potentially invoking server-side command execution facilities exposed via the database layer. No public proof-of-concept exploit code is known at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv2 – Aug 21, 2026
SQL injection in Dell OpenManage Enterprise prior to version 4.7.0 allows a low-privileged authenticated remote attacker to inject malicious SQL constructs via the platform's web interface, leading to script injection and potential full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) reflects low attack complexity and no user interaction required beyond valid credentials. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and EPSS places current exploitation probability at 0.29% (21st percentile), though SSVC rates the technical impact as total.
Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
SQL injection in Dell OpenManage Enterprise versions prior to 4.7.0 enables low-privileged remote attackers to extract sensitive data from the underlying database and trigger a denial-of-service condition, with a secondary script injection effect that may allow persistent malicious content delivery through the management interface. The vulnerability is rated CVSS 8.1 (High) by Dell, with network-accessible exploitation requiring only low-privileged credentials. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
The primary fix is to upgrade Dell OpenManage Enterprise to version 4.7.0 or later, as confirmed by the vendor in 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 feasible, compensating controls should include restricting network access to the OpenManage Enterprise web interface to trusted management VLANs or jump hosts only, reducing the reachable attack surface; however, this does not eliminate the vulnerability for users already on the management network. Disabling or deprovisioning low-privilege accounts that do not require web interface access further reduces exploitation likelihood. These workarounds carry the trade-off of operational disruption to legitimate remote management workflows and should be treated as temporary bridges to the patch, not permanent mitigations.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Dell OpenManage Enterprise is an enterprise IT infrastructure management platform used to manage Dell PowerEdge servers and related hardware at scale. The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in SQL Commands), where attacker-controlled input is incorporated into SQL query construction without adequate sanitization or parameterization. This class of flaw allows injection of SQL metacharacters to alter query logic, extract data, or - as noted in the description - achieve script injection, likely via database-side execution features (e.g., xp_cmdshell or equivalent). The affected scope per CPE cpe:2.3:a:dell:openmanage_enterprise:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers all versions prior to 4.7.0 with no platform qualifier, indicating the flaw exists across supported operating environments.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionNVD
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 Script injection.
Executive ViewAI
Dell OpenManage Enterprise versions prior to 4.7.0 contain a SQL injection vulnerability (CVSS 8.8) that authenticated attackers can exploit to achieve full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability via the web interface. Organizations running older versions face immediate risk to platform data and system control without patching.
Apply vendor patch to version 4.7.0 or later. If patch deployment cannot be completed within 7 days, implement strict network segmentation to restrict web interface access to a limited set of trusted management networks and enforce multi-factor authentication for all authenticated sessions to the platform.
